Charlo

Originally used as a trail crossing, Charlo was named in tribute to Chief Charlo of the Flathead Indian Tribe. Years ago, Chief Charlo refused to sign an order removing American Indians in the area to the Jocko reservation. Charlo has maintained the history of the region, most notably with the Ninepipes Museum of Early Montana. The museum takes visitors through the past, noting the culture of the Flathead Indian Reservation and early settlers in the region. And just a few minutes drive from Charlo is the National Bison Range—one of the oldest big game refuges in the United States.
