The Hollywood Cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The cemetery was established sometime prior to the American Civil War, with its oldest marked grave dating to 1856. It is located southeast of downtown Hot Springs, and is bounded by Hollywood Avenue, Mote Street, and Shady Grove Road. Its Confederate Section, located in the northeastern part of the cemetery, commemorates the city's Civil War Confederate Army soldiers, and contains 34 marked burials. At the center of that area is an 8-foot (2.4 m) granite monument in which is a marble marker inscribed "OUR CONFEDERATE DEAD".[2] The Confederate section of the cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]

The cemetery has two notable burials – Indian Wars Medal of Honor recipient Christian Steiner (1843–1880) and US Congressman Lewis E. Sawyer (1867–1923).
