Palestine Park, Miniature park in Chautauqua, United States.
The park contains a scale model of the Holy Land with cities, hills, rivers, and geographical features spread across 350 feet of terrain.
Reverend John Heyl Vincent established this educational model in 1874 to help Americans experience Biblical locations without traveling to the Middle East.
Students and teachers gather at specific locations within the park to conduct Bible studies and understand the geographical context of religious narratives.
Guided tours of Palestine Park operate every Sunday and Monday at 7 PM during the nine-week summer season at Chautauqua Institution.
The model rotates compass directions 180 degrees to allow Chautauqua Lake to represent the Mediterranean Sea in the geographical layout.
