Local non-profit aims to preserve historic landmarks in Cairo


CAIRO (WSIL) -- A new non-profit wants to preserve what's left of a once-booming southern Illinois community.
The Cairo Historical Preservation Project was formally created in April. The goal of the new non-profit is to raise money and interest to preserve historic landmarks.
Those structures include the Cairo Public Library, the Custom House, the Magnolia Manor, and Ward Chapel A.M.E. Church.
"They all exist on tourism dollars. Last year of course there was no tourism. Whatever we can try to do to try to keep these buildings going. All of these structures are over a hundred years old," said Jim Fredlund, Secretary of the Cairo Historical Preservation Project.
