Explore archival photos from the Vulcan & District Historical Society, such as images of the railway station with early settlers, barns during snowstorms, the Imperial Hotel during 1913 parades, and grain elevators in operation. While the web page provides these for context, the On This Spot app allows you to stand at exact spots and overlay historical images with current views for immersive then-and-now comparisons, helping visualize how the town has evolved.
