Green Lawn Abbey is a beautiful mausoleum built in 1927. The grand building was a sought after place of interment from successful entrepreneurs and professionals.
After the Abbey declined in the late 20th century, the Green Lawn Abbey Preservation Association was formed to restore the grand mausoleum.

Green Lawn Abbey is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its fine Palladio-inspired neoclassical architecture, its high-quality materials, and expert craftsmanship.
The Preservation Association hosts events throughout the year to both celebrate the beauty of the building, as well as to raise funds. Volunteers pay for 100% of the restoration and maintenance!

Green Lawn Abbey Tales from the Crypt
TBA for 2023
Things will get a little spooky at the Abbey, as some of the residents come to “life”. Grim-faced Jack lanterns will greet you on the steps, and candles will set the mood inside.
Nettie Redman, ex-wife of Columbus Mausoleum Company founder E.E. Redman will be joining us this year, along with Alexander Gaal, Charles Foster Johnson, C.J. Penfield, Lewis Sells, and an additional resident that’s eager to tell you their tale.
This is the Abbey’s signature event and is sure to please anyone who loves old mausoleums and history. The event sells out every year so get your tickets early. Dress for the weather in comfortable shoes. The building is not ADA-compliant (stairs). Light refreshments are provided and a signature cocktail will be available to purchase.
100% of the proceeds are used for Abbey Restoration. Stay tuned for more Abbey events in the future!
