Litchfield & Hillsboro Illinois Chautauqua
The annual Chautauqua, a major attraction from 1906 to 1931, started in 1905 at Litchfield; but when the electric interurban connected Litchfield and Hillsboro in 1906, residents of both towns selected a wooded tract of land halfway between the two places for a combined Litchfield-Hillsboro Chautauqua.
