Did you know an Ohioan patented tintype photography? "Hamilton L. Smith of Gambier, Ohio, patented it in 1856, and it quickly became a popular photographic format. Early tintypes were often presented in cases to resemble the more fragile daguerreotypes and ambrotypes. While daguerreotypes and ambrotypes needed case protection, tintypes were far more durable". www.ohiohistory.org

Reserve your spot for a tintype photo during Tales from the Crypt.

A BUSY WEEKEND AHEAD AT GREEN LAWN ABBEY!

Three events. Three very different ways to experience Green Lawn Abbey Mausoleum & Gardens. Here’s what’s happening:

🎬 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 — MOVIES UNDER THE STARS
The Silence of the Lambs
7 PM I ticket link ⬇
Gates open at 7 PM. Come early, settle in and enjoy a movie night unlike any other. 🎥
https://theabbeymausoleum.org/event/movie-under-the-stars-silence-of-the-lambs/

🏛️ SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 — OHIO OPEN DOORS
11 AM–2 PM | FREE
Every hallway has a story. Every stone has a name.
As part of Ohio Open Doors, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States, we’re opening the Abbey to the community for a special opportunity to explore its classical architecture, hear the stories behind it and connect with the history that has shaped our community for generations.
✨ History has a story to tell. Come be part of it.

☕ SUNDAY — DEATH CAFÉ
2-4 PM I FREE
Hosted by the Ars Moriendi Society
WHAT IF TALKING ABOUT DEATH COULD HELP US LIVE MORE FULLY?
Join us for a Death Café.
It’s not a support group.
It’s not a lecture.
And it’s definitely not about being morbid.
It’s an opportunity to gather over coffee and have honest, meaningful conversations about death and dying—and, ultimately, about what makes life matter.

Death is something we all have in common. Let’s make it a little easier to talk about.

Come spend part of your weekend at Green Lawn Abbey.

📍 700 Greenlawn Avenue, Columbus, OH
