The Hardy Downtown Historic District encompasses most of the central business district of the resort community of Hardy, Arkansas. It extends along Main Street, between Church and Cope Streets, and includes a few buildings on adjacent streets. Hardy was founded as a railroad town in the 1880s, but grew by the end of the 19th century into a resort community, serving as commercial center for vacationers from Memphis, Tennessee. Most of the 43 buildings in the district are between one and three stories in height, and of masonry construction. Twenty-four are historically significant, and many of the remaining buildings date to the early 20th century but have been altered in unsympathetic ways. Notable buildings include the Hardy Church of Christ, and the Raymond Daugherty House, one of the community's oldest buildings.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
