The History of Butterfly Lodge
Butterfly Lodge was built in 1913 and first occupied in 1914. The log cabin's name "Apuni Oyis" in Blackfeet was inspired by the countless butterflies in the meadows surrounding the cabin. It was built by John Butler for James W. Schultz as his hunting cabin, and later became the home of his son, Hart M. Schultz aka Lone Wolf.
The lodge housed two colorful careers, the father's fashioned in words, and the son’s in painted images and sculptures of the West, both of which found inspiration from this little cabin and its surroundings.
We invite you to walk through our site, enjoy reading the history of these two talented men, see pictures and check out our calendar of events!
Make plans to visit Greer and step back in time through this over 100-year-old log cabin, with its original floors, windows, fireplace and many artifacts that belonged to James Schultz, Lone Wolf and his wife Naomi.

Why Visit Butterfly Lodge Museum?
My wife Kim and I have always enjoyed traveling. Some of the best destinations that we’ve visited through the years have been those that are not necessarily all that well known. The Butterfly Lodge Museum probably fits that description for most folks. And trust me - it’s a true hidden gem.
The reason I say that is, first off, because of how the property has been meticulously cared for through the years. It’s absolutely beautiful! The unique history of this frontier home has been preserved down to the tiniest details. It’s literally like walking through a chunk of the past - right down to the period clothing and artwork.
There’s a gift shop on location where you can purchase the sort of goods you won’t find at any of the big box stores and an amazing outdoor pavilion where some fun events are held each summer. Check the event calendar HERE and subscribe HERE to stay in the loop.
This must see venue sits in the middle of a breath taking pine forest in beautiful Greer, Arizona - all at an elevation of around 8,000 feet. Take my word for it: the Butterfly Lodge Museum in Greer, AZ will not disappoint and your time spent in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona will make you want to come back again and again.
