The Scott Bond Family Plot is a historic family burial plot in Madison, Arkansas. It contains the burial site of Scott Bond (1852–1933), Arkansas' first Black millionaire.
Born into slavery, Bond became a major landowner and businessman in St. Francis County, and 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]
