Some history:

Cairo Baptist Church


Just across from Halliday Park, is the graceful minaret of the Baptist Church. Organized in 1880, the present church, of more recent construction, was a house of an active congregation which dedicated its ministry to children and to youth.
Today (2006) the building houses The Mighty River Family Congregation.


Interesting notes from the turbulent years of the 60's involving this church's pastor:
