The Historic Tamarack Lodge was built in 1907 withinGlacierNational Park and relocated to its existing location in 1949.  During its early life it served as theGlacierNationalPark's visitor center.  When the town of West Glacier was formed, the lodge was converted into a Masonic Lodge.  Since it's relocation, the lodge has provided thousands of guests from all parts of the world a wonderful experience.  Since purchasing this lodge in September of 2005 we have been slowly discovering more information about the history of this lodge.  As we learn more, we will continue to update this page.
