Explorer Matthew Henson at Chautauqua on the Eastern Shore

Maryland Humanities brings arctic explorer Matthew Henson back to life through its program, Chautauqua: Making Waves. Chautauqua celebrates its 25th season this summer. A living history performance by actor-scholar Keith Henley will be followed by a question and answer session, which will spark spirited conversation and provide educational family fun. 

All performances will be held outdoors. Please bring a folding chair. In the case of severe weather, the program will be held in the Steamboat Building auditorium.
