Most web sites, such as this article: "In Lansden Park, a memorial remembers the Tigress. The river packet TIGRESS, commandeered by the Union Army, carried General U. S. Grant up the Tennessee River to the Battle of Shiloh on April 6, 1862. A year later the TIGRESS was sunk while running the shore batteries at Vicksburg, Mississippi. The crew survived and returned her flagpole to Cairo." (Southern Illinois History>
This is not [location] true. The flag pole and marker are INSIDE the old Cairo Custom House Museum
Dedication plaque about the gazebo text:
Lansden Park Gazebo The cupola on top of this gazebo originally came from the Andrew Lohr Home located across the street at 2710 Walnut. The house was erected about 1892 and occupied by Lohr, one of Cairo's earliest residents. Lohr operated a bottling facility at 424-8th Street. The cupola was rescued by Cairo Police Officers Michael Bryan and James "Dee" Harris, II, before the house was razed. The gazebo at Lansden Park was facilitated by Cairo Mayor James E. Wilson, designed by Monica L. Smith.
