Today, continuing education flourishes at the historic locale that originally launched a movement toward self-improvement in nineteenth-century America. Seeking the best in human ideals drives the mission, as it has from the outset—an aspiration still relevant in modern times, according to Tom Becker, president of Chautauqua Institution. The property’s four-thousand seat amphitheater provides a platform for dynamic speakers. Dignitaries, noted authors, and captains of science and industry deliver public addresses daily, while theologians share the pulpit during interfaith worship services. Rounding out the curriculum are special classes and children’s activities.
Glad you are coming to NYS; we have so many wondrous places and such incredible scenery that you could spend the summer here. And Chautauqua is a marvelous place; we attended a Garrison Keillor radio show there, and also stayed in that wonderful hotel pictured above. Hopefully anyone who comes this way will have a wonderful time.

Boulder , Colo also has Chautauqua !
Petoskey, MI also has a Chautauqua! There are quite a few throughout the U.S.
Tell me more about Petosky’s Chatauqua. My mother and family have gone for years to the New York site but I am from Michigan and would love to take my husband to northern Michigan. Thank you for your information.
I grew up in this small town. Its wonderful place to visit in the summer but the area has its attractions all year round.

I love Chautauqua! I played in the Chautauqua student orchestra when I was in college! When
My husband and I visited Chautauqua we enjoyed it together! This past summer I returned to Chautauqua. In one way everything was as good as I remembered, in another way it was even better! Chautauqua offers a combination of charm, history and ideas relevant for living in today’s world. I can hardly wait to go back!
