With origins in the late 19th century, these touring groups would entertain and inform people living on the plains about political and cultural happenings. The name comes from a resort community in New York State where, in 1875, a summer program of lectures, sermons and music attracted such enthusiastic audiences that within a few years similar programs sprang into existence for the public in other parts of the country. Today, Chautauqua upholds the tradition of offering entertainment, education and community-based heritage. Attendees gather under the big tent and enjoy scholars-in- residence presenting first-person portrayals of some of our most important historical figures along with a variety of activities for all ages. Each evening, humorist Mark Twain moderates one of five presentations of these historical figures: Union General and railroad builder Grenville Dodge, author Willa Cather, Ponca Chief Standing Bear, homesteader and inventor George Washington Carver, and homesteader and author Laura Ingalls Wilder. Each Chautauquan gives a first-person presentation as his or her historical character, then answers questions. Workshops for children and adults along with other activities are held throughout the Chautauqua week. Free Land Chautauqua allows the audience to experience and explore the impact of landmark legislation through the historical lens of homesteading, migration and displacement on the Great Plains. The Homestead Act, the Morrill Act and the Pacific Railway Act all were passed within six weeks of each other in 1862 and set into motion sweeping changes for the Great Plains region and the American West. As part of the Chautauqua residency, six scholars explore the lasting impact of the 1862 legislation and how those events affect Americans today. Evening programs will be held in the Chautauqua tent located in Railroad Town at Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer. In case of inclement weather, tent programs will be held at Grand Island Northwest High School. Adult and youth workshops will be held at the Grand Island Public Library.

They like rolling hills with water far below, but within reach, and brisk winds to keep unwanted intruders away. These are all the ingredients for growing grapes that make award-winning wine. This is Nebraska, and it’s wine country. Many French-American hybrids or American varietals are grown here. Some of these winter-hardy grapes include Edelweiss, LaCross, St. Croix and Vignoles. ,Q WKH V DFUHV RI YLQHDUGV ÁRXULVKHG LQ Nebraska. World War II, Prohibition and the Great Depression uprooted the industry until a few vision- aries planted grapes again in the 1980s.
