Chautauqua: A Historic Planned Community
The Chautauqua Institution, a 750-acre lakeside community, was founded in 1874 as a summer training center for Sunday-school teachers but soon offered diverse educational and cultural programs, giving birth to the national Chautauqua Movement that hosted programs around the country. The institution lives on today as a National Historic District, with buildings by regionally important architects such as E.B.Green. Recipient of a 2010 Silver Award at the International Awards for Livable Communities, it is a model for good community planning and design, and for the integration of the built and natural environment. Preservation architect Bonnie Foit-Albert will discuss the Chautauqua community's unique blend of educational and cultural facilities. ---

Selected The Buffalo News Editorials Following the Conference:

In the words of Van Miller, “Now do you believe?”Why is it that when complete strangers tell us something, it’s often viewed more openly and more favorably and without objection than when we hear the same information from those closest to us? I suppose it’s only human.......


While our fond memories of the City of Light are still fresh, I’d like to publicly express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the citizens of Buffalo-Niagara who helped make the National Preservation Conference in Buffalo an unparalleled success.....

The recent National Trust Conference in Buffalo appeared to be a huge success at many levels. Part of that success should be credited to The Buffalo News for covering it extensively, before and during the conference, and from so many different perspectives.
Mike Vogel’s Viewpoints article  was especially compelling and should help us all better see the treasures, beauty and good neighbors we have in Buffalo on a daily basis, long after the visitors have gone home. For many of us, we can more proudly call Buffalo, “home.” Thanks to The News for helping to bring us the good news!
