Gold mining, coal mining, logging and some remote agricultural activity
fostered the development of the Glacier community. By the turn of
the century, outdoor enthusiasts were already coming to the area, and so
began the towns happy relationship with tourism. In 1906, the town
site became part of the National Forest, but prior-established homesteaders
were given deeds to their land. In 1915, the town had three hotels,
a mercantile store, town hall, pool hall, barber shop, livery stable and
