Waxahachie Chautauqua's Beginnings
From 1900 to 1930, the Waxahachie Chautauqua provided two weeks of
education, culture, art, and recreation to the citizens of Waxahachie
and to nearby cities, counties, and states.
Historic Chautauqua Auditorium
The Waxahachie Chautauqua Auditorium, an unusual octagonal 2500-seat
open-air auditorium, was built in 1902 to accommodate the throngs of
people attending the annual Chautauqua Assemblies.
Revival & Preservation
Since its revival in 2000, the Waxahachie Chautauqua has
come alive again in the form of an annual one-day Assembly held the
last Saturday in September in the restored Auditorium. Educational,
inspirational and entertaining programs revolve around a particular
theme that is viewed through the arts, humanities and sciences.
