The Chautauqua Programs

Every summer from 1885, New Piasa Chautauqua printed a program — the season's lectures, concerts, movies, community sings, and the roque contests played on the courts below the hill. Many surviving editions are digitized on the Internet Archive and mirrored here, every page readable. The ones outlined in red fall within one boy's Chautauqua summers, 1944 to 1969.
