Mount Muncie Cemetery - Lansing

Mount Muncie Cemetery (est. 1866) is a historic burial ground nestled on a hillside along the Lansing/Leavenworth border, offering a picturesque view of nearby Leavenworth National Cemetery. Known for its rich history, it serves as the final resting place for many notable figures, including Kansas' second Governor, Fred Harvey (founder of the Harvey House Restaurants), D.R. Anthony (brother of Susan B. Anthony and a key figure during Kansas' tumultuous "Bleeding Kansas" era), and Walter Cronkite’s mother.

Among the most infamous graves are those of prisoners executed at the nearby Lansing Correctional Facility, including the murderers portrayed in Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. These graves add a somber layer to the cemetery’s storied past.
