CAIRO MAGNOLIA CELEBRATION

"Hometown Showcase!"

In the spirit of our previous celebrations, we invite you to come back home to Cairo this spring as we host a city-wide Historical Cairo showcase. We will be partnering with several Cairo churches and private homes and, of course, the architectural jewels of our city: Cairo Public Library, the Cairo Custom House, Ward Chapel AME Church, and Magnolia Manor Museum - to provide opportunities to tour some of the city's best historical locations, some for the very first time. 

While tax-deductible donations to our preservation efforts are welcome, this year the entire day's events will be absolutely FREE to the public!
