Kalispell is the central hub of the Flathead Valley region and the downtown area is a picturesque blend of old and new. The city was founded in 1891 and though it may be a bustling small city today, it still retains many of the historical buildings from bygone times. Print off the Historic Downtown Kalispell Walking Tour brochure, or stop at the CVB office to pick one up, and follow the path outlined for you to learn all about the history of this city. The tour will take you to places such as the Hockaday Museum of Art, once the Carnegie Library which was built in 1903 and a Masonic Temple built in 1904. Even if you aren’t a history buff, it’s worth taking this tour to explore the modern day downtown businesses.
