- Title: Wheeler Cabin and Mount Brown
- Description: After a fire burned the original cabin at the Wheeler camp, the family began construction another cabin taking great care to insure that the design captured the rustic style and spirit of its predecessor and of the architecture emblematic of Glacier Park and the NPS. Work on the new cabin began in the fall of 1941, and Lulu spent the early summer of 1942 at Lake McDonald, alone, overseeing the cabin's completion. Logs for the cabin came from outside the park. Masons constructed the fireplace from stones Lulu had collected. Cabinetmakers from Columbia Falls added the finishing touches to the kitchen. The cabin was ready for occupancy when the rest of the family arrived later that summer. Senator Wheeler's time at Lake McDonald was spent participating in a variety of recreational pursuits. He loved to hike and fish, and to spend time with his family in a way simply not possible in Washington, D.C. He and Lulu celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at Lake McDonald in 1958.
