This stamp honoring the Chautauqua Movement is a fine
example of how our national memory is preserved through
stamps. Inspired by an institution based in Chautauqua,
New York, traveling tent shows like this one brought
education, entertainment, and religious inspiration
to rural America long before the advent of modern media.
