Chautauqua Area Information
Chautuaqua County is the western gateway to New York, located in the state's southwest corner, and bordered by Pennsylvania and Lake Erie. With Lake Chautauqua at its center, the county includes more than 1,500 square miles of beautiful lake-modelled terrain, a pristine state park area, and dozens of charming towns and small cities. Prominent communities here include the town of Chautauqua, Dunkirk, Jamestown, and county seat Mayville. With just 150,000 year round residents, Chautauqua County is as uncrowded as it is pretty, although the area also attracts tens of thousands of tourists each year.
The area's most popular tourist spot is the Chautauqua institution, a historic summer resort and seasonal education center in the town of Chautauqua. Comfortably situated on a 750 acre lakeside campus, the Institution includes a small village of 19th century houses, a hotel, churches, theatres, golf courses, beaches, and attractive gardens. Between May and September the Institution is teeming with activity, as roughly 7,500 summer residents and some140,000 daily visitors take part in seminars, summer courses, theatre, symphony, and ballet. Founded in the 1874, the Institution gave way to a national network of Chautauquas focussed on adult learning and arts. In recent decades Chautauqua has become an ideal place to relax as well as pursue education, offering a fine selection of vacation homes and resort amenities.
