Boulder City is preparing to turn history into a live performance. Boulder City Chautauqua will celebrate America’s 250th anniversary Oct. 23-24 with portrayals of Martha Washington, Paul Revere and Alexander Hamilton, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

For families, history buffs and newcomers looking for something distinctly local but outside the Strip, the event offers a rare blend of civic memory and street-level theater. It also gives Boulder City another turn in the regional spotlight at a time when heritage programming remains a draw for residents seeking lower-key weekend plans.

The Review-Journal said the event is scheduled for two days, making it an easy outing for people across the valley who want a break from casino-floor entertainment and a closer look at the nation’s founding era.

Details & Information: Boulder City Chautauqua is set for Oct. 23-24, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. No venue address, ticket link or contact information was included in the source material.
