Cahokia Mounds sale to private buyer delays state purchase
Illinois scraped together nearly 1 million dollars to buy Kannemann Mounds near Cahokia Mounds State Park but the private owners signed another offer for 330 acres nearby. The Nature Conservancy involvement failed after a $10 earnest money check was returned, leaving the deal possibly beyond repair and the treasure again outside state hands.
