Why do people come to Chautauqua Institution? Many of the guests who return to Chautauqua year after year describe it as an experience rather than a vacation -- a place for renewal. Chautauqua Institution was founded on the belief that everyone “has a right to be all that he can be -- to know all that he can know.”
