While Native American tribes have lived in the area for over 14,000 years, the first European to put down roots in Whitefish was John Morton in 1883. Years later the Great Northern Railway was constructed and passed through Whitefish making it an instant boomtown. By the middle of the 20th century, the townspeople and local business leaders established the town as a ski resort and the ski culture has been intertwined with the town ever since.

Whitefish Mountain Resort was founded in 1947 as a public company owned by the townspeople. This resort has hosted the US Alpine Championship twice and has been home to some of the great American Olympian skiers in history. With a summit over 6,000 feet and a 2,000-foot descent down the multiple runs, this resort offers endless hours of fun

Whitefish Depot is, historically speaking, the gateway to the town. Every day, the train still pulls into the depot dropping off and picking up travelers and locals alike. The depot is home to many historic exhibits on the town and the railroad and has food and beverages.

Downtown Whitefish is an idyllic representation of “Main Street” America. From its iconic clock tower to its antiquated storefronts, Whitefish offers visitors a wholesome and riveting experience. One thing that makes this area unique is the lack of chain stores, almost everything is locally owned and crafted with love.
