My Work as a Chautauqua Scholar and Historical Education Performer

Image
  What Is Chautauqua? Chautauqua (named for Lake Chautauqua, where this historical education format was first started in 1874) is a unique way to present historical characters. A Chautauqua scholar typically spends 18 months to 2 years preparing a historical character. This includes research (first-hand documents if possible, scholarly research, site visits, interviews, etc.) They then write a 35- to 50-minute monologue (each hiring organization is different) to be presented to an audience.

When we bought 3 acres in a WV "holler" in 2007, one which we built a house for our family of five, my wife Tonya asked me if I wanted to go to the Mothman Museum, which was only two and a half hours away. It took me two years to say yes.  What we experienced that weekend in July in the so-called TNT area--a former WWIII munitions factory area which features about 100 concrete "igloos"--was truly life changing and we have talked about our 2 and a half hours of missing time in our books and others, and during countless radio interviews, podcasts, and conference and ...
