The Chautauqua Preservation Society was first formed in 1974 at the time of the renovation and rededication of the Waxahachie Chautauqua Auditorium. The five members of the board of directors at that time were Waxahachie residents: Josephine Ruskin, Ed Miles, Marvin Singleton, Jr., Martha Jane Bryce, and a very young lawyer named Steve Chapman. The new organization's stated purpose was to further the restoration and maintenance of the Chautauqua Auditorium and the grounds surrounding it. In 1994, after a long period of inactivity, the Society was dissolved by the State of Texas.
