Chatauqua Days
Event Description
Chautauqua is a community-based, cultural and social movement that started in the 1870's and flourished in America until the mid 1920s/ During this time there existed hundreds of touring "Chautauquas" that presented lectures, dance, music, drama, and other forms of "cultural enrichment." Eventually it broadened and organizers brought in great orators, added music, and later theater. It is a popular belief that this type of information exchange was the origin of the current adult education movement. Chautauqua has returned as a history festival to bring the past alive. Chautauqua days in Silt occur in May at the Silt Historical Park at
707 Orchard Avenue - Silt, CO 81652
