Bull Head Lodge and Studio, located off Going-to-the-Sun Road near Apgar in Flathead County, Montana was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]

The lodge and studio are two contributing log buildings at the southern end of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park.[2]

The cabin named Bull Head Lodge was built in 1905 or 1906, on land purchased by Russell from Dimon Apgar. The property was a private inholding within the Glacier National Park when it was formed in 1910. It was Charles M. Russell's summer home, where he hosted artist friends to paint and sketch landscapes and scenery of the park. Russell composed a number of gnomic sculptures using found objects such as wood and moss from the park.[3][4]
