This historic cemetery is the final resting place of the pioneers of Enterprise Florida. Enterprise…read morewas founded in 1841 by Cornelius Taylor, a Seminole War veteran, former timber agent, and first cousin to General Zachary Taylor. He was nicknamed the Thunder of Enterprise for his hot temper. He and about 20 others founded Enterprise at Fort Kingsbury, which had been abandoned after six weeks. Enterprise became a key location during the Seminole Wars due to its strategic position on Lake Monroe. Later, it thrived as a river town, thanks to steamboat transport along the St. Johns River where Enterprise was the last stop for the steamers. Enterprise was designated the county seat of Volusia County in 1854, solidifying its importance in the region. A yellow fever epidemic in the late 1880s severely impacted Enterprise's population, leading to the town's de-incorporation in 1895. Today Enterprise has worked hard to maintain a separate identity from its larger neighbors, DeBary and Deltona. A reminder from Enterprises earliest days is the community run, historic Enterprise Evergreen Cemetery. When the cemetery was created the African American section was not considered part of the cemetery and the dues collected for the upkeep of the cemetery were not applied to that side. The scrub overtook that section of the cemetery and many of the graves were lost. In 2000 volunteers from the DeBary Boy Scout troop began a clean up project of this neglected side of the cemetery including the graves of well to do George and Jenny McBurney. A century before, they were one of just two black families in Enterprise who lived in a two-story home. Other graves in the cemetery belong to early settlers and Confederate soldiers. If you have an interest in Central Florida history, this cemetery is worth a visit if you are in the area.

Greenwood Cemetery is a historic cemetery just east of the downtown Orlando, Florida area. The…read morecemetery was established in 1880. Prior to 1880, the people who resided in the Orlando, Florida area had no permanent burial location. Eight residents of the area purchased twenty-six acres of land for a cost of $1,800. Greenwood Cemetery has since grown to over eighty acres. The cemetery has many of Orlando's past prominent citizens buried there, including multiple Orlando mayors. One area of Greenwood Cemetery is the heartbreaking section known as Babyland and is the resting spot of children who passed away under the age of five. Greenwood Cemetery offers tours usually around Halloween and there are plenty of ghost stories. One humorous story is that of Fred Weeks. Mr. Weeks was a northern businessman who was swindled by three men who sold him useless swamp land and billed it as prime real estate. Weeks responded by buying a piece of land close to Greenwood Cemetery and erected a tombstone with the three men's name on it and the biblical verse, "A certain man went down from Jeruand fell among thieves." The men bought the land back from Weeks. But Weeks was not done with these less than honorable men. Upon his mausoleum in Greenwood Cemetery, he had the men's names inscribed along with the biblical verse again. It is said that Weeks haunts the graveyard, as do countless other restless spirits. Greenwood Cemetery is an important part of the history of Orlando and definitely worth a trip.
