Where history, nature, future & rivers converge
Olive Branch Illinois
Located In Southern Illinois

It is not just the place where two mighty rivers converge to become one - here is the place in Illinois where the historic past, nature and the present are so closely intermingled that they continue to exist together. Part history, part imagination and part haunting presence, it is here that one can experience the timeless saga that is Cairo. Hear the haunting sounds of Civil War soldiers marching across brick paved streets.
   
Take a stroll with Mark Twain as he explains how Huck Finn and Jim left their raft at river's edge and stole into Cairo. Know the excitement of passengers on the great paddlewheels. See the Victorian-era ladies who resided in the mansions on Millionaire Row, facing the river that provided the commerce that funded their homes and lavish lifestyles. Cairo, along with Alexander and Pulaski counties, offers a unique diversity of opportunity, culture, history and future.
   
Nestled in the narrow triangle of rich bottomland between the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, Cairo celebrates its unique river heritage annually in October with Riverboat Days. But there is much more to this area than history.
   
An interstate highway and other US and state roads, plus major bridges over the two huge
rivers bring travelers, commerce and tourists in and out of the area.
  
Historic Washington Avenue with stately Magnolia Manor and Windham House reflects the grandeur of the past. A modern medical clinic is located in Cairo and hospital facilities are nearby in Cape Girardeau, MO, and Paducah, KY.
