Part of Pontiac's "Murals on Main Street", twenty hand painted murals
located throughout the city.

The Chautauqua institution began in the summer of 1874 at Fair Point on
Lake Chautauqua, NY. The Chautauqua brought entertainment and culture for the
whole community with speakers, teachers, musicians, entertainers, preachers,
and specialists of the day. The First Pontiac Chautauqua assembly opened on
July 29, 1898 at Riverside Park on the Vermilion River. The original 13-day
event was a huge success, and the Pontiac Chautauqua continued as one of the
Country's most exciting and comprehensive Chautauqua assemblies for over 30 years.
The mural was designed by David & Susie Butler and Dan Sawatzky.
