Badlands chautauqua:

A Gathering of Teddys

2023 Dates Coming Soon

Named for the region where the movement began, Chautauquas were an education movement popular at the turn of the century. Academics, scholars, experts and the public gathered to learn and be inspired. 

Today, Medora revives the Chautauqua tradition so new generations can learn and be inspired by Theodore Roosevelt’s legacy.

“A gathering that is typically American in that it is typical of America at its best.”

- THEODORE ROOSEVELT
