Built of brick, the Green Plain Monthly Meetinghouse is a Greek Revival building; in line with the simple habits of its builders, the meetinghouse features few adornments. It has been virtually unchanged since its construction, still retaining original elements such as the structural separation between the men's side and the women's side of the interior.
In 1982, the meetinghouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It qualified because of its historically significant architecture: few so well-preserved and little-changed Quaker meetinghouses remain in this region of Ohio, so it permits a nearly unparalleled view of the lives of some early Ohioans. Included in the historic designation was the monthly meeting's cemetery, which has stones with death dates as far back as 1843.
The cemetery is located in Madison Township, Clark County, Ohio and is #1668 (Green Plain Cemetery / Hicksite Cemetery / Old Quaker Cemetery) in "Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003", compiled by the Ohio Genealogical Society.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) feature ID for the cemetery is 1044122 (Old Quaker Cemetery).
