Columbia Icefield 1939 Dinner Menu

On August 20, 1939, someone enjoyed dinner from this fine menu at Jasper Park Lodge. The photo shows the Columbia Icefield, which had been made accessible by a road from Jasper not long before this menu was issued. We’ve previously seen 1948 Jasper Lodge menus featuring the Columbia Icefield, but they used different photographs.

The unpriced menu offers a choice of six entrées, including pickerel, lamb chops, t-bone steak, beef sirloin, roast turkey, or cold ham & capon. These came with honey dew melon or shrimp-and-crab cocktail, cream of chicken or turtle soup, veggies, potatoes, salad, dessert, and beverage.
