Route description
AR 356 begins at AR 92 east of Bee Branch and south of Morganton in southern Van Buren County. The route runs east for through a sparsely populated part of the Arkansas Ozarks, passing through the unincorporated community of Fairbanks before entering Cleburne County. AR 356 continues east to a junction with AR 255, where the route turns south to cross Cadron Creek and enter the small town of Quitman. In Quitman, the route is named Bee Branch Road and runs south to intersect a concurrency between AR 25/AR 124, where it terminates.

History
The Arkansas General Assembly passed the Act 148 of 1957, the Milum Road Act, creating 10–12 miles (16–19 km) of new state highways in each county. The Arkansas State Highway Commission created AR 356 along a county road in Van Buren County on July 10, 1957. It was extended from the Cleburne-Van Buren County line to Quitman on June 29, 1960, as part of an extension of many Milum Roads to "more logical termini".
