Chautauqua (pronounced “sha-TAW-kwa”) adult education programs brought lecturers and entertainers to rural communities across the country in the early 20th century. This Maryland Humanities Council program brings to life famous figures from the past. Each evening’s entertainment will present a different character, who will tell how his or her life changed our culture.
