Brownlee Cemetery Prairie Preserve is a mesic black prairie located in southern Mercer County 1/2 mile north of of Illinois 135. It is a high-quality prairie dominated by Indian grass and big and little bluestem grasses as well as many prairie wildflowers. It was dedicated in the early 1980's as part of the Illinois Nature Preserve system. The deed was transferred to the Mercer County Soil and Water Conservation District in 1982.
