Time's Ticking for the Chautauqua Amphitheater
Channel: National Trust for Historic Preservation
Date: 2015-08-24

Often described as the “beating heart” of Chautauqua, the Amp is a cherished place where over a century of American history has unfolded. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Susan B. Anthony, Ella Fitzgerald, Amelia Earhart, and Booker T. Washington have all graced this space, as have generations of philosophers, musicians, and spiritual leaders. Unfortunately, its future is on the line. On August 29th, the Chautauqua Institution’s Board of Trustees is expected to vote in favor of its plan to demolish the 122-year-old structure so that a replica can be built in its place.

The time is now to sign our petition to save and upgrade the historic Amp for future generations. Take action now:http://savingplac.es/1yJkpM9
