Freda's West Glacier Bar

History

The West Glacier Restaurant and Mercantile buildings were constructed in 1938 at the junction of the Going to the Sun Road and US Highway 2. Glacier National Park was essentially closed during World War II and in 1946 the Lundgren Family and Dave Thompson purchased the business, which consisted of the buildings you see today. Several structures have been added over time, but visitors still discover a scenic mountain village as they enter the Park through West Glacier. The Lundgren family takes great pride in the historic buildings and grounds. Visitors who return from year to year are delighted to find things just the way they used to be. In 1987, The West Glacier Mercantile Company received a Special Commendation from the Department of the Interior for sheltering and protecting the West Entrace of Glacier National Park from inappropriatae development and for maintaining the historic character of the town site.
