Click here for a description of 2010 High Plains Chautauqua President Theodore Roosevelt once called Chautauqua the “most American thing in America”. The traveling Tent Chautauquas were an outgrowth of the lyceum movement and evolved in the early twentieth century to bring to rural America the same quality of entertainment, history and culture that was available to city dwellers. The Circuit Chautauquas were modeled after the Chautauqua Institution in southwestern New York state, a community with summer long programs by politicians, writers, theologians, and musicians.
We hope you join us at the eleventh annual High Plains Chautauqua, a free, five-day festival of history and theatre that is produced in Greeley in partnership with the Colorado Humanities. High Plains Chautauqua is a labor of love that has steadily grown in popularity since its inauguration in the year 2000. It would not be possible without our generous sponsors and individual donors, the dedicated volunteers who begin planning in October to bring history to life under the Big Tent, and you, the appreciative audience members who inspire us to keep the Chautauqua tradition alive.
