In 1915, Oscar Seagle bought the Brown Swan Club and established a studio there. Later, he moved to Charley Hill where he founded the Seagle Colony, a training school for vocalists. Seagle Colony students still give concerts in Schroon and other Adirondack locations throughout the summer. Wonderful music can also be heard, courtesy of the bandstand concerts, a tradition started in 1958. Today it is called the Word of Life Inn.
