Fountain Park Chautauqua
Fountain Park Chautauqua, Historic district in Jasper County, Indiana, US
The 17.3-acre site features a central fountain, gazebo, recreational building, and numerous cottages arranged around a circular drive within wooded grounds.
Founded in 1895 by Robert Parker, president of Remington Bank, this Chautauqua assembly began as a discussion forum for religion, science, and literature.
The site hosted speeches by prominent figures including U.S. Senator John Ingalls, evangelist Billy Sunday, and politician William Jennings Bryan throughout its history.
The park maintains an 1898 hotel structure that provides accommodation options for visitors attending summer events and educational programs.
Among more than 80 former Indiana Chautauqua communities, Fountain Park remains one of only six locations continuing this educational and cultural tradition.
