An exciting mixture of education and entertainment, Ohio Chautauqua 2015 will explore the transformative journeys taken by a variety of historic figures. Journey Stories will showcase Titanic survivor Edith Russell, 1849er J. Goldsborough Bruff, Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., Indian captive Olive Ann Oatman, and philosopher Henry David Thoreau.

Ohio Chautauqua programs are fun for the entire family! Each evening, music fills the air before a talented scholar assumes the costume and character of a historic figure and presents a compelling living history performance. Families, friends, and neighbors meet under the tent to learn from and talk with famous personalities from our past. During the day, audiences explore different aspects of the theme by attending hands-on workshops for children and special adult programs presented by the scholars in Greene County.
