Greenville Chautauqua Society

Chautauqua is more than just a performance, it’s a chance to watch history come alive. Debate the constitution with our forefathers, laugh out loud with Mark Twain or get arrested alongside Rosa Parks. Chautauqua is dedicated to telling stories, and having these histories heard.

Winter Chautauqua is held one weekend in February.

The History Comes Alive Festival in June offers ten-days of live history and nonstop fun for the whole family! Five different shows performed by nationally acclaimed historical interpreters and other events . Morning discussions with performers, daytime shows indoors and evenings outdoors under the Chautauqua tent.
