Glacier Park Lodge History



It’s easy to understand why the majestic setting of the Glacier Park Lodge has attracted many thousands of visitors over the past century. Did you know that the area Glacier Park Lodge is located was originally called Midvale and not East Glacier? Great Northern Railway purchased the land for $30 an acre, which was part of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. Originally named the Glacier Park Hotel, it's location was not within Glacier National Park borders, but within the reserve.
