Ohio Chautauqua
Tuesday - Saturday, July 7 - 11
The Ohio Chautauqua is returning to Archbold. In 2002, Sauder Village and other community partners hosted this five-day event that combines living history, music and entertainment, education, theater, and audience interaction in an exciting cultural event the entire community can enjoy.

The community of Archbold is hosting this year’s Ohio Chautauqua, starting Tuesday, July 7 and running through Saturday, July 11. The evening performances, in the big red and white tent located in Ruihley Park, will begin
each evening at 7:30. This year’s theme is Inventors & Innovators. This series will explore the legacies of those who helped shape our modern world. Characters for Ohio Chautauqua 2009 are inventor Thomas Edison, educator Mary McLeod Bethune, industrialist Andrew Carnegie, scientist George Washington Carver, and inventor Alexander Graham Bell.

For questions or further information, contact the Archbold Park Board at (419) 445-4025 or the Archbold Chamber of Commerce at (419) 445-2222.

The Ohio Humanities Council, the premier facilitator of humanities programs across the state, will present this exciting series. Additional support comes from The Ohio State University Humanities Institute.
