Most towns are lucky to have a few old photos. Gull Lake has something rare — two professionally produced promotional films, created nearly a century apart.
From the agricultural boom of 1929 to the community‑driven energy of 2015, these videos show how our town has grown, adapted, and stayed true to itself.
1929 Film: A Prairie Town on the Rise
Agricultural strength — towering elevators, endless grain wagons, and the wheat economy that powered the region.
Modern infrastructure—a busy main street, early automobiles, and brick civic buildings that signaled confidence and permanence.
Everyday life — residents at work and play, captured before the hardships of the Dirty Thirties.
Optimism — a film designed to attract settlers and investors.
2015 Promotional Video: A Community in Motion
Modern amenities — recreation complex, swimming pool, and parks that anchor today’s social life.
Active living — sports, events, and family activities that define the town’s current rhythm.
Economic continuity — from wooden elevators to high‑throughput terminals, the land still shapes who we are.
