The Olympia Tavern was opened in 1897 by Patrick McEvoy, a Great Northern Railway engineer. McEvoy was at the controls when the first passenger train crossed the summit in 1893. The original building was destroyed in the 1904 fire and was rebuilt in 1905. During prohibition it was known as the Maple Leaf Confectionary. It reverted to a saloon in 1933 and was renamed the Whistling Post. A robbery and arson fire on April 10, 2012 destroyed the building but by January 27, 2013 it was back up and running again.
