While a trip to the Buffalo Gap Historic Village is worthwhile at any time,
you’ll find an additional excitement if you time your visit (or visits!)
to coincide with the special programs which are held here on a regular
basis.
 In continuing the educational mission of the Village, we are proud this
year to offer the public our new Chautauqua Learning Series. The Learning
Series consists of monthly lectures which are based on the Chautauqua movement
which spread throughout the rural United States in the late 19th and early
20th centuries. Click the links below for details about specific lectures. |
