Chautauqua is a different approach to getting away from it all. It offers its visitors unique experiences in education, the arts, recreation, and religion. Through its wide range of programming, Chautauqua prides itself on life long learning. Chautauqua has hosted world-renowned speakers, thinkers, and artists throughout its more than 135 year history and continues that tradition into today.
Chautauqua: An American Narrative is made possible by a generous grant from The John R. Oishei Foundation The Erie Insurance Group, Eric and Marianne Laine and the CUTCO Foundation, The Chautauqua County Legislature and the Department of Planning and Economic Development, and Gary and Willow Brost. Support programming like Chautauqua - An American Narrative through your local PBS station.
