�鶹���� at Geauga is once again proud to sponsor Ohio Chautauqua as it returns to Geauga County's Century Village from June 6th – 10th. History comes alive and it's an experience you won't want to miss. All events are free and are open to all ages!

Big-tent performances each evening in Burton’s Century Village begin with live music at 6:30 p.m. Actor performances at 7:30 p.m. 

Building on the 19th-century tradition established on the shores of New York’s Chautauqua Lake, Ohio Chautauqua is a five-day event that combines living history performances, music, education, and audience participation into a one-of-a-kind cultural event the entire community will enjoy. This season’s theme is “The Natural World” with historical characters who spent their lives immersed in nature, using it as a source of creativity, discovery and spiritualism, including:
Dian Fossey, zoologist and author of Gorillas in the Mist
Theodore Roosevelt, reformist president and outdoorsman
Mary Shelley, gothic novelist
Chief Cornstalk, Native American leader of the Shawnee nation
Marie Curie, French physicist and chemist

For those that are looking for something to do during the daytime, the Chautauqua experience will have additional performances throughout the week. Kent State Geauga, along with other community partners, will host the actors, who will present on various interesting topics.
