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.
Glacier
Park Lodge, then known as the Glacier Park Hotel, and its annex. The
Lodge was built in 1913 and quickly proved to be nowhere near large
enough for the amount of guests that were showing up to experience the
grand architecture. In order to accommodate more guests, the annex was
added on in 1914. 2013 marks the 100th birthday for Glacier Park Lodge –
stay tuned for updates on all of the festivities for the celebration.
