The history of the Gale River Motel harkens back to the mid-1930's.
Arthur & Bertha Streeter built ten "camps" on the property known as Streeter Farm.
Camps in the 1930's were the destination of blue-collar Americans with the cottages providing sleeping quarters and cooking facilities for working families as a cost effective vacation alternative.
While a bit more costly than campgrounds; cottages offered the comforts of home and protection from the elements during inclement weather.
Tourists of wealth and prominence opted for the grand hotels of the day.
