Munree Cemetery is a historical landmark of 5 acres highlighting the lost and found discovery of 250 African American burials, located on Edenfield Road miles north of U.S. 90 in Leon County, Tallahassee, Florida. The cemetery was created during the early 1900s for African Americans who lived and worked as sharecroppers and tenant farmers on the land and plantations named Welaunee. In 1912, a New York businessman, Udo Fleischmann, acquired the Welaunee Plantation property and converted it into a bird-hunting preserve. As part of the purchase, Fleischmann also acquired the land used for Munree cemetery.
