Education
5
Glen Echo's Chautaugua Program opened on June 16, 1891 and offered classes and lectures in all areas of the liberal and practical arts. The education program lasted only one year, but its buildings were used by the amusement park for decades. The Stone Tower is the only Chautaugua structure that remains intact today, and the Amphitheater was the main assembly hall and centerpiece of the 1891 Chautaugua.
