The Arnold Springs Farmstead is a historic farmstead on Jennings Lane on the northwest edge of Melbourne, Arkansas. The farmhouse on the 5-acre (2.0 ha) property is a log structure clad in weatherboard whose construction has been dated to the mid-1850s. It was originally built as a dogtrot, which was enclosed in the late 19th century. The exterior of the house has vernacular Greek Revival styling, also applied in the late 19th century. The property also includes a collection of 19th- and early 20th-century agricultural outbuildings, as well as an early stone wall and bridge. Sited near a locally significant fresh-water spring, the site served as a tavern and traveler's rest stop for many years.^[2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.^[1]
