đď¸ What Is the Community House â Rocky Mountain Climbers Club?
Built in 1918, the Community House is often called Chautauquaâs âliving room,â hosting intimate concerts, forums, films, and educational programs throughout the year. While catching a show at the Chautauqua Auditorium is a classic summer must-do, Community House concerts have become a favorite for audiences who want to experience music up close in a warm, acoustically rich setting. Itâs widely considered one of the Front Rangeâs premier listening roomsâand a place that feels special the moment you walk in.
