 Kalispell is located in the beautiful Flathead Valley and is situated near Glacier National Park, Flathead Lake and The Big Mountain Ski and Summer Resort. Flathead Lake is the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. Glacier National Park’s majestic snowcapped peaks can be seen from the downtown area where a well-established main street circles Kalispell’s courthouse at one end. Due to a mild climate and abundant precipitation, the Kalispell area not only produces livestock and grain crops, but also such moisture-loving crops as sweet cherries, seed potatoes, Christmas trees and peppermint. Another important industry is wood products. Kalispell is a lively and friendly town with lots of shopping, art galleries, a historic walking tour and many festival events throughout the year.
This small, thriving city is home to the Conrad Mansion, a 19th century Norman-style mansion with 26 originally furnished rooms, Tiffany glass and eight fireplaces. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
