Buckhannon: Then and Now. Join us in showcasing Upshur County throughout history and today.
A circuit chautauqua found themselves visiting Upshur County from 1912 to 1927. What is a chautauqua, you ask? A chautauqua is a traveling form of entertainment and education. Rural areas now had access to well-known musicians, lecturers, demonstrators, actors and other performers under a big tent!
