Chautauqua Room

Room Description - View 360 Degree Tour
At the turn of the last century, tents went up across the land for lectures, concerts, plays, and song-and-dance shows. The regional headquarters of the movement was, for a time, located in Perry's Jones Building.

The contents of the Chautauqua room are setup to resemble the Chautauquas that took place in tents during that time period. Awning fabric was used to create a canopy over the bed similar to a stage coach shade. Furniture in the room is very rustic, because the Chautauquas started out in outdoor camps. Throughout the rest of the room you'll finding special paintings detailing life during this time period, that were painted by David Kreitzer and Steven Kozar.
