Jamestown is also on the tip of beautiful Chautauqua Lake, which is home the Chautauqua Institute, which was founded in 1874 and offers educational programs of all kinds and musical programs from classical to folk. Your being close to the Institute you probably do not realize what a gem you have that the rest of us do not.
