Staff Blogger: Jessica Kidd, Advancement Manager Mabelle Seitter Elsasser first came to Lakeside in the early 1920s with her parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, brother and sister. Being raised in a Methodist family, Lakeside was an important part of their family vacations. Elsasser shared her fondest memories of the Chautauqua community with her daughter, Elizabeth Brahler. Elsasser would often reminisce about the educational lectures and the family connections.
For 141 years, the shoreline has also been a place for reconnecting and conversation, which are core to the Chautauqua experience. Thanks to a generous gift from the late C. Nelle and Richard E. Sultzbach family, a conversation terrace has been installed in front of the Beebe Memorial telescope viewing area, near Hotel Lakeside. This terrace is the first phase of the project to enhance Ohio’s Most Beautiful Mile.
