Mount Holly Cemetery is the final resting place of ten former Arkansas governors, six U.S. senators, fourteen Arkansas Supreme Court justices, and twenty-one Little Rock mayors. Mount Holly is also the final resting place for Confederate spy David O. Dodd, five Confederate generals, Arkansas Traveler Sanford C. Faulkner, Arkansas Gazette founder William E. Woodruff, and Pulitzer prize-winner John Gould Fletcher. The fame attached to the people interred in the cemetery has acquired it the moniker "The Westminster of Arkansas."

The cemetery, established in 1843 and located at the corner of Broadway and 12th streets, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
