Event Details

Meet five of America’s greatest wordsmiths and experience “The Power of Words” at the 18^th annual Chautauqua History Alive Festival. Chautauqua isn’t just a performance. It’s a chance to step into Living History – to ask questions and go one on one with the people who shaped our country and our world.

A ten-day – two-weekend festival of live shows and other events performed by nationally acclaimed historical interpreters. There’s a different show outdoors each night and more indoors during the day. You laugh . . . you cry . . . you just flat out have a good time. And to top it off – the shows are FREE!

Bring your stories. Share your experiences. Get inspired. Because it’s not just history – it’s personal.

This June hear these historic Americans speak in their own words – Abe Lincoln, Maya Angelou, Cesar Chavez, Rachel Carson and Walter Cronkite.
