Arts Daily / Chautauqua History Comes Alive Festival

Chautauqua History Comes Alive Festival

It’s time to Reinvent America. At the Chautauqua History Comes Alive Festival you can step back in time and meet five brilliant American game changers. Create a new nation with Ben Franklin. Turn darkness into light with Thomas Edison. Spark the Electrical Revolution with Nikola Tesla. Set the stage for cell phones & Wi-Fi with Hollywood’s Hedy Lamarr. And like Rosa Parks, demand your Civil Rights. There will be great story-telling, lots to laugh about, and deep secrets revealed. You’ll have questions. And they’ll be answered because It’s not just history – it’s personal. All shows outdoors and free. September 3-12 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Mauldin Cultural Center Outdoor Amphitheater.
