Join us for a FREE guided tour of historical Cairo we are calling our "Hometown Showcase!" Several city churches and private homes are partnering with us this year to show off some of the best of Cairo's history. Our friends at Shawnee Mass Transit are providing complimentary bus service again this year.
While the tour is free, registration is highly recommended at the link below in order to properly plan for our event. The guided tour will load beginning at 9:30 am in the parking lot of Southern Bank at 800 Washington in downtown Cairo. If you prefer, you can take your own vehicle and follow behind the bus.
All churches will be open to the public from 10:00 to 12:00, but you must be part of the guided tour in order to view the interior of the private homes.
OTHER CELEBRATION EVENTS OF THE DAY
--After the guided tour, lunch is on your own at local eateries.
--From 12:00-12:30 we will hold a short prayer meeting for Cairo for those who are interested (location TBA and registration not necessary)
--Our historic program buildings (Library, Custom House, Magnolia Manor, and the exterior of the Ward Chapel AME Church) will be open for self-tours between 12:30 and 3:30.
