The Colorado Chautauqua, located in Boulder, Colorado, United States, and started in 1898, is the only Chautauqua west of the Mississippi River still continuing in unbroken operation since the heyday of the Chautauqua Movement in the 1920s. It is one of the few such continuously operating Chautauquas remaining in the United States, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006.〔 According to its governing body, the Colorado Chautauqua Association, it is also unique in that it is the only year-round Chautauqua. == The Colorado Chautauqua in the 21st century == The Colorado Chautauqua Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formerly known as the ''Texas-Colorado Chautauqua Association'', presents a variety of lectures, live musical performances, and silent films on a year-round schedule, although the summer months are emphasized. The operation also includes the ''Chautauqua Dining Hall''. Short-term lodging is also offered. The Association manages leased from the City of Boulder, including the historic Chautauqua buildings, all of which are still in regular use: * the 1898 Chautauqua Auditorium (listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 1978) * the 1898 Dining Hall * the 1900 Academic Hall (now the Administration Building) * the 1911 Missions House * the 1918 Community House * the 1919 Columbine Lodge * 98 cottages, constructed between 1899 and 1954 (80 before 1915), some of which are owner-occupied and some of which are rentals offered by the Colorado Chautauqua Association. Between these of Association land and Baseline Road lies a Boulder city park called Chautauqua Park. This area is marked "Chautauqua Green" on the map published by the Colorado Chautauqua Association. Both the park and the Association land are open to the public without an entry fee. The entire site, including both the Association land and the adjacent Chautauqua Park, was designated a National Historic Landmark on February 10, 2006. The site is bounded on the north by Baseline Road, on the northeast by residential back yards on 10th Street, and on the southeast, south, and west by the City of Boulder Mountain Parks. Residents of Boulder generally refer to the entire site by the single word Chautauqua. In the early years, the site was known as "Texado Park". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colorado Chautauqua」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
