Description:

Among Springfield's unique monuments stands the Barney Mausoleum, an intriguing structure situated on the western border of Forest Park. This mausoleum was constructed by Everett Barney, the ingenious mind behind the clamp-on ice skate. His invention quickly amassed a fortune. In the 1890s, he generously donated his expansive estate to the city, which now forms the foundation of Springfield's largest park.
