Eagle's Nest Art Colony
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eagle's Nest Art Colony was founded in 1898 by American sculptor Lorado Taft on the bluffs flanking the east bank of the Rock River, overlooking Oregon, Illinois.[1] The colony was populated by Chicago artists, all members of the Chicago Art Institute or the University of Chicago art department, who gathered in Ogle County to escape the summer heat of Chicago.[2]
