The Big River Chautauqua is a festival of American History, and first became a reality in 1995, thanks to the efforts of co-founders Joe Layden and Sherry Greminger, who with their dedication to community involvement brought this unique form of entertainment and education to our area. The Big River Chautauqua has received recognition as being an outstanding example of experiential, interactive learning by the Missouri Humanities Council, and is the longest-running privately funded Chautauqua west of the Mississippi River.
