Green Lawn Cemetery's Evolution

Register now and join us TONIGHT for part two of our three-part series on the Green Lawn Cemetery and the attitudes toward death and nature.

Columbus’ role as a cultural crossroads is evident in Green Lawn Cemetery. Franklin County was surveyed and settled by Virginia and Kentucky residents. Migrations and immigration from the 1840s through post-World War II transformed Green Lawn from a final resting place for prominent citizens into a public cemetery. Cultures of New England, Pennsylvania, and the Deep South were brought here by the arrival of Huguenots, Nova Scotians, fugitives and free African Americans, and refugees from Europe.

Green Lawn Cemetery's Evolution

Register to attend a free virtual three-part series on the attitudes toward death and nature. Learn how the cemetery transitioned from prominent citizens only to a public cemetery and came to reflect the cultural crossroads of Columbus. Discover how public art was used to demonstrate that a cemetery is a "vast sleeping dormitory of friends and family.” Link in bio to register.

Columbus Landmarks is proud to welcome Nancy Recch

Columbus Landmarks is proud to welcome Nancy Recchie and Jeff Darbee into our Legacy Circle!

Nancy and Jeff have dedicated their lives to preserving and promoting the historic and cultural legacy of Columbus. Their passion for preservation and love for one another was sparked by a shared effort to save the Union Station Arch, which led to the creation of our non-profit organization in 1977.
