The Florida Chautauqua Association was founded in 1993 by citizens of DeFuniak Springs, Florida who wanted to bring the original assemblies held here from 1885-1928 back to life.  The once-gated campus grounds, opened in 1885, were founded by leaders of the New York Chautauqua needing a campus in a warmer climate for winter assemblies.  Today's leaders orchestrate the modern assemblies as a 4-day educational program for families comprised of notable or famous keynote speakers, educational breakout sessions, performance teas, evening dinner performances and exhibits relating to an annual theme.
