Ahhh. Beautiful, beautiful, Glacier National Park.In 1891, the Great Northern Railway crossed the Continental Divide at Marias Pass. In an effort to stimulate use of the railroad, the Great Northern soon advertised the beauty of the region to the public. The company lobbied the United States Congress, and in 1897, the park was designated as a forest preserve. In 1910, a bill was introduced into the U.S. Congress which redesignated the region from a forest reserve to a national park. The bill was signed into law by President William Howard Taft on May 11, 1910. That means next week is Glacier's 100th birthday.To celebrate, Glacier has set up GlacierCentennial.org, a site dedicated to the history of the park. Just one more reason to visit that amazing place. Go, go, go, go, go.MP3: The Vern Williams Band - Montana Cowboy
