The Colorado Chautauqua

The Colorado Chautauqua is considered THE western representation of the “chautauqua movement” that swept the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is the only chautauqua west of the Mississippi that has continuously operated with its original structures intact, largely used for their original purposes. Located at the base of the Flatirons, the Colorado Chautauqua is one of only 26 National Historic Landmarks in the state of Colorado and one of the few remaining chautauquas in the United States. Now in its second century, the Colorado Chautauqua attracts over one million visitors each year while remaining committed to its historic purpose. In 2008, the Colorado Chautauqua embraced environmental sustainability as integral to its historic preservation mission and committed to making the Colorado Chautauqua the most environmentally sustainable National Historic Landmark in the country, marrying historic preservation with resource efficiency. Since then, Chautauqua has been implementing initiatives related to energy use, water conservation, storm water management, and reuse/recycling. Chautauqua also offers opportunities for other public, private, and no.
