But the performances are not the only reason for the irresistible attraction of this place. Simple pine benches and wooden building covered with sawdust is a picturesque site to look at. Some of these pine benches were replaced by opera chairs in 1918 when the Chautauqua Auditorium started attracting large number of visitors for shows and gatherings.
