If you could time travel back to the past to hear from historical icons like Edgar Allan Poe or Mother Jones, would you do it? This weekend at the Chautauqua History Comes Alive Festival, hear fascinating, true stories from the past that will inspire and thrill you. Performances will be held inside during the day and outside during the evenings in Greenville and Spartanburg. Note: Please reserve your spots online for indoor shows, and bring your own lawn chair for outdoor shows. Check the link below for more detailed information regarding showtimes.
This weekend, travel back to dinosaur time and come face-to-face with life sized, animatronic dinos!
