Chautauqua Then and Now

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hear famous historical figures talk about their experiences and accomplishments . . . in real life? Join Maryland Humanities at their annual Chautauqua and meet celebrated figures from our nation’s past and talk with them about their lives, ideas, and impact.

Since 1995, when Maryland’s Chautauqua began at Garrett College, this summer event has spread to six locations, providing free programs for communities in every region of the state. Chautauqua combines scholarship and performance to present an interactive program that engages thousands of Marylanders in thoughtful dialogue.

Funded project of Maryland Humanities, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
