Since 1876, the cemetery has been overseen, maintained and operated by a three-person board of trustees, appointed by the mayor with
the approval of the village council. Under this leadership, the cemetery has grown to over thirty acres and many consider it the most
beautiful in the county. Day to day maintenance is the responsibility of two part time laborers and a part time clerk.

Henry Springer opened the historic Lisbon Cemetery, owned by the Village of Lisbon, in 1834 with the burial of his father, Dr. Joseph
Springer. A privately owned mausoleum, erected in 1914, was donated to the village by Mrs. Doris Eells. This structure is in the art deco style
that reintroduced a likeness to Egyptian tombs and temples. The extensively restored mausoleum is still in use and available for those who
choose this method of burial. In June 1988, a chapel was erected through a community wide effort and is now used to conduct all graveside
services.
Many historic elements are incorporated into the cemetery landscape: a Civil War era naval cannon and sea mine, secured by Wm.
McKinley, 25th President of the United States, is here. A footbridge constructed of Carnegie steel and placed into the cemetery prior to 1900
spans a ravine. A cast iron fence, ca. 1870 that once enclosed the "old" Market Street School, now encloses the grounds of the cemetery office.
The estate of U. S. Supreme Court Justice, John Hessin Clark funds the beautiful and grandiose iron gates that adorn the main entrance into the
cemetery. There are also monuments to the veterans of WWI, WWII, and the Korean War. Soldiers who participated in all American wars from
the Revolutionary War to Desert Storm are buried here.
There is also an historic side light to the cemetery, the Hanna or Old Quaker Cemetery. Although this small plot of ground in a grove of trees
at the east end of the cemetery is not officially part of the cemetery, the board of trustees and maintenance crew take care of it. The Hanna
family members were early residents and made significant contributions to history of New Lisbon, Columbiana County, and the United States.
