The Enid Chautauqua invites guests to step back in time with stories and anecdotes from historical figures at the FREE PROGRAMS of the 2023 Summer Chautauqua “American Aviation: Barnstorming to Mach 1” hosted by the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center (CSRHC).
Through live performances, visitors can travel to another era and meet some of history’s most illustrious characters while listening to stories and anecdotes from unique, first-person perspectives. Historical reenactments include an in-character monologue and an opportunity for the audience to pose questions to both the visiting luminary and the scholar/presenter. This year, actors will portray Rose Cousins, Jacqueline Cochran, Chuck Yeager, Amelia Earhart, and Eula “Pearl” Carter Scott.
Events are free and open to the public!
