Two Medicine Store, formerly part of Two Medicine Chalets, is a historic building in Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. The chalet was originally built in 1914 by the Glacier Park Hotel Company, a subsidiary of the Great Northern Railway, as part of the railway's extensive program of visitor services development at Glacier. The chalet group originally featured a complex of log buildings, all built in the rustic style, which provided dining and lodging facilities.{{cite web|url=http://www.hscl.cr.nps.gov/insidenps/report.asp?STATE=MT&PARK=GLAC&STRUCTURE=&SORT=&RECORDNO=287|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110521190130/http://www.hscl.cr.nps.gov/insidenps/report.asp?STATE=MT&PARK=GLAC&STRUCTURE=&SORT=&RECORDNO=287|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 21, 2011|date=2008-11-10|work=List of Classified Structures|title=Two Medicine Chalet General Store|publisher=National Park Service}} Overnight accommodations at the chalet ended with the onset of World War II, and the other buildings at the site were intentionally burned in 1956.
