Chautauqua takes its name from a seri es of adult education programs that were first held at a campsite on the s hores of Lake Chautauqua in upstate New York during the late 19th century. Chautauquas spread throughout America in the late 19th and early 20th cen turies bringing speakers\, teachers\, musicians\, entertainers\, preachers and specialists of the day to a wide cross-section of the nation&rsquo\;s rural and small-town population. Circuit Chautauquas (also known as Tent Chautauquas) were an itinerant manifestation of the movement. Programs wou ld be presented in tents pitched in a field near town. After several days\ , the Chautauqua would fold its tents and move on to the next community. T he popularity of Chautauquas peaked in the mid-1920s\, after which radio\, movies and automobiles brought about the gradual disappearance of the mov ement by the 1940s.

\n\n
