Olympia/Whistling Post Tavern

The Olympia was opened in 1897 by Patrick McEvoy, a Great Northern Railway engineer. Legend has it that McEvoy was at the controls when the first passenger train crossed the summit in 1893. The original Building was destroyed in the 1904 fires and was rebuilt in 1905. During prohibition it was known as the Maple Leaf Confectionery. It reverted to a saloon in 1933 and was renamed the Whistling Post. In April 2012, the building was again destroyed by a fire started during a burglary. It was rebuilt and reopened in January 2013 as it now stands.

The Whistling Post offers beer, wine and spirits, food and a cozy community atmosphere.
