Colorado Chautauqua Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Colorado Chautauqua , located in Boulder, preserves the site of the Colorado Chautauqua. Founded in 1898, the Chautauqua provided educational, cultural and recreational opportunities to millions of Americans. It is the only site of its kind and the only Chautauqua west of the Mississippi River. The Chautauqua idea was institutionalized in two quite distinct formats: the independent assembly and the Circuit Chautauqua. The Circuit Chautauqua was a traveling troupe of educators and entertainers who promoted education, culture, and entertainment. The park is open to the public and continues to provide recreation and entertainment for all.
The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 1978, and designated a National Historic Landmark on February 10, 2006.
