Chautauqua Park Boulder Colorado

Chautauqua Park & Historic Landmark

FacebookTwitter

Located in Boulder, Chautauqua Park is one of the few remaining locations established for the Chautauqua movement. In the year 1898, Boulder citizens agreed to the purchase of an 80-acre land to bring culture to rural areas by using it as a “Chautauqua”, hence the name of the park. The Chautauqua Auditorium is a National Historic Landmark.
