Chautauqua in the Park


  • Simpson Park 715 Washington Street Chillicothe, Missouri, 64601 United States (map)

Chautauqua in the Park is a lively, family-friendly celebration of history, culture, and community set against the beautiful backdrop of the park. Expect engaging living-history demonstrations, vintage crafts, music, and storytelling that bring local heritage to life for all ages. Whether you’re curious about pioneer skills, want to see period reenactments, or enjoy hands-on activities that spark imagination, this event offers a charming, interactive way to step back in time while spending a sunny day outdoors.

Stop by the Bug Thugs Booth for a splash of playful science and crafty fun! We’ll have live bug displays, easy insect-themed crafts for kids, and friendly staff ready to answer curious questions. Bring the whole family to touch a beetle, make a mini bug habitat, or pick up a quirky keepsake from our collection. Come say hi, learn something new, and leave buzzing with excitement—we can’t wait to meet you at the park!
