The Scott Bond Family Plot is a historic family burial plot in Madison, Arkansas. It is located 0.3 miles (0.48 km) west of 5th Street on U.S. Highway 70. The plot measures 16 by 75 feet (4.9 m × 22.9 m), and consists of two markers surrounded by a low concrete border. The plot contains the burial site of Scott Winfield Bond and some of his family members. Bond (1852-1933) was born into slavery, but rose through ingenuity and perseverance to become a major landowner and businessman in St. Francis County. At age 60 his personal net worth was estimated to exceed $2 million. He died at age 81, gored to death by an ox on his farm.[2]
The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
