The Douglas County Historical Society seeks to enrich lives by preserving and making accessible local history, to its surrounding communities and visitors. Educators of the Young Chautauqua Program aim to inspire children to find a passion for history through the artistry of Chautauqua. The program brings history alive and encourages a fun learning environment where the children understand the complexities, struggles and achievements of some of history's most inspirational individuals. These positive role models also play an important role in influencing the children’s future by inspiring them to become involved in their communities and to have a love of humanity.
The park is located at 1450 Hwy 88, ¼ mile north of the Carson Valley Veterinary Hospital. This is an outdoor event, and visitors should bring their own seating. Dogs are not permitted at this event. For more information, visit dangberghomeranch.org.
Other Chautauqua performances coming up at the park include Doug Watson as “Will Rogers” on July 12, Doug Mishler as “Theodore Roosevelt” on July 26 and Chris Bayer as “Major William Ormsby” on August 9. The park’s full 2017 event schedule is available at the park’s website.
