A dramatic
lakeside setting and the beauty of its architecture make the Chautauqua Institution
a thriving community where visitors come to find intellectual and spiritual growth
and renewal. The
Chautauqua Institution was founded in 1874 by Lewis Miller, an Akron, OH, inventor
and manufacturer; and John Heyl Vincent, a Methodist minister (later bishop).
The Institution is a National Historic District, listed on the National Register
of Historic Places. It was designated a National Historic Landmark June 30, 1989.
