  • Featuring Chautauqua Lake, Lake Erie Living Magazine
    Best of Lake Erie — featuring Chautauqua Lake Relax with lake breezes and a cocktail or strike a yoga pose as the mighty Niagara Falls rushes before you. Enjoy dinner in an old grain silo in Buffalo or world-class cheesecake on the streets of Detroit. Zipline in Geneva-on-the-Lake or stop by a speakeasy in Erie. Whatever your idea of a good time, you’ll find it around Lake Erie. Best Chautauqua Lake Getaway Chautauqua Lake offers year-round nourishment for the mind, body and soul, even beyond the gates of the Chautauqua Institution. Along its 41 miles of shoreline, you’ll find small villages, each with its own distinctive charm. Listen to moving music in Mayville, fill your belly in Bemus Point, laugh in Jamestown or head south to Celoron, where a new destination hotel is making waves. At first light, strands of sunshine mingle with swirling mist hovering just above Chautauqua Lake on a crisp morning. The water is calm until a skein of honking geese come in for a landing, skidding across the surface and sending a wave of ripples in front of the resort-like Chautauqua Harbor Hotel in Celoron, New York. The 135-room hotel opened last year on the grounds of the famed Celoron Park, a popular theme park that opened in 1894 and shuttered in 1962. It’s a great spot for a getaway — anytime of the year — and makes an ideal launching spot for exploring the rest of the lake. But before you head out, make sure to enjoy what the Chautauqua Harbor Hotel has to offer.

  • REPORT 2019 ENRICHING the QUALITY of LIFE in the CHAUTAUQUA REGION Typically, This Annual Report Only Includes Activity from the Prior Calendar Year
    Photo by Sarah Minor annual REPORT 2019 ENRICHING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE CHAUTAUQUA REGION Typically, this Annual Report only includes activity from the prior calendar year. As our community came to a standstill in mid-March because of COVID-19 we knew we had to make an exception. Our theme, “It Takes a Village” was already selected, little did we know how appropriate that would be. Local businesses changed their normal operations overnight to begin producing medical equipment, hand sanitizer, and protective gear for frontline workers. Community members rallied around essential workers to provide meals and words of encouragement during their long, and often difficult, shifts. Volunteers gave their time and resources to sew thousands of face coverings to protect those serving in food pantries, soup kitchens and childcare centers. Educators and school administrators reached students in new and creative ways to ensure they received food, educational resources and, most importantly, emotional support. Our colleagues in philanthropy quickly pooled significant funding to meet unprecedented community needs. Our village came together to lend a hand where help was needed and to look toward the future with hope. 1 Chautauqua Region Community Foundation Chautauqua County Crisis Response Fund: COVID-19 On March 23, the Community Foundation, in collaboration with the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation, United Way of Northern Chautauqua County and United Way of Southern Chautauqua County announced the creation of the Chautauqua County Crisis Response Fund: COVID-19. This county-wide collaboration and pool of shared resources is unprecedented. The Foundation’s Board of Directors committed $100,000 to the effort.
