PROPOSAL: The Commission will review the Nomination of the Martin Cemetery to the
National Register. This nomination was prepared by Kathleen Fowler, Senior Librarian on
behalf of Bill Shepard of the Martin Cemetery. It was edited by Callie Williams, National
Register Historian, AHPP.
As surveyors and early settlers, the Martin and the Douglass families were an important part of
the early settlement and development of Pulaski County and their family connections and public
service helped to form the early political dynamics that would continue to affect Arkansas
politics for the next century. The Martin Cemetery Historic Section is being nominated to the
National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A for its association with the history of
Exploration and Settlement of central Arkansas. This site is also being nominated under Criteria
Consideration D as a cemetery associated with the settlement of the surrounding area. This
cemetery is a rare surviving link with the historic community that existed in the area before the
establishment of any major transportation link other than the Southwest Trail. The associated
farmsteads and other architectural remnants or landscapes associated with the earliest
settlement families interred in the Martin Cemetery have been lost.

PROPOSAL: The Commission will review the Nomination of the Lake Nixon to the National
Register. Lake Nixon, near Little Rock, Arkansas, is being nominated to the National Register of
Historic Places with statewide significance under Criterion A for its association of
Politics/Government and Entertainment/Recreation. The period of significance extends to 1969,
due to the length of the initial court case which extended from 1966 to 1969. Lake Nixon is a
preserved example of a site associated with a national-level desegregation case, brought to the
United States Supreme Court, that inevitably set the precedent for entertainment and recreation
establishments to not be able to discriminate based on race, and were found to be subject to
Title II of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS AND REACTION: At the time of distribution, there were no
comments regarding this application.

Historic Places under Criterion A which is defined as: Property is associated with events that
