Fountain Park Chautauqua, located in serene, rural Indiana, has functioned continuously since 1895, preserving a historical part of our American heritage and keeping family values strong. At Fountain Park, the generation gap is bridged by the fostering of love and respect for all ages. The strong bonds of lasting friendships and family ties are evidence of the great appreciation held for Fountain Park. When parents return, bringing their children to enjoy the pleasures they have experienced or the families that have been returning for five or six generations back, one can then understand the love and appreciation felt for Fountain Park. It is a place for children, especially, to experience play how it was generations ago: unstructured, unscheduled, all inclusive, self-organized and self-motivated. It is a truly special place.

Fountain Park is scheduled to be held as planned. Any cancellations will be posted in this space.
