First Saturday at Green Lawn

| William Sullivant |
First Saturday at Green Lawn is a program, free and open to the public, held the first Saturday of every month at 11 a.m. in the Huntington Chapel at Green Lawn Cemetery. This program, created by and presented by the Green Lawn Volunteers, honors people interred at Green Lawn who had an impact on life in central Ohio. Visits to the gravesite of those recognized are offered after the program. Although the programs are free, donations are welcome. All donations help the Volunteers in their efforts to educate the public about the rich history, heritage, art, architecture and arboreal beauty that is Green Lawn, the second-largest Cemetery in Ohio.
