Recently, area citizens were treated to a very special series presenting history of the 1930s, by Kansas-Nebraska Chaut-auqua.
Traveling Chautauquas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries brought the world to rural communities in Nebraska. Chautauqua combined programs of political oratory and lectures about health, science and the humanities with entertainment, such as opera singers and stage performances of Shakespeare.
During the early 20th century, Chautauquas remained very popular, but began to decline with the rise of radio and film entertainment.
In 1984, the Nebraska Humanities Council rekindled its state’s Chautauqua traditions, bringing modern Chautauqua programs to communities across Nebraska. This year Broken Bow was one of those communities.
