Review & FAQ:
The Chautauqua Auditorium is a lovely historic performance hall in Waxahachie's Getzendaner Memorial Park, originally constructed in 1902 as a venue serving the Chautauqua Institution. The movement, which was founded in New York in 1874, originally began as a summer retreat training organization for Sunday School teachers and eventually evolved into an all-denominational national lecture forum for open discussion of issues related to science, literature, and civics. Today, the historic hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is noted for its unique octagonal architectural style. Live music performances and lectures are hosted at the venue throughout the year, including performances by the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra.
