Welaunee Plantation, Florida

In 1962, Mrs. Fleischmann died and her nephew, John W. Mettler, Jr. of New Brunswick, New Jersey and son of John Wyckoff Mettler the founder and president of Interwoven Stocking Company.

In 1967 he purchased the last acreage of Sunny Hill Plantation totaling 6,000 acres (24 km2).

This greenway preserves the plantation, a vast pie shaped area between Miccosukee and Centerville Roads, is still not developed.

The greenway plan was carefully carried out through years of careful negotiation between the Trust for Public Land, Leon County and the Welaunee's owners preserves the Miccosukee and Centerville canopy roads.

By providing a right of way transportation corridor for Welaunee Boulevard, the greenway anticipates the transportation problems associated with connecting thousands of Welaunee Plantation and other northeastern residents to Tallahassee's center.
