Here are the next scheduled work dates for January 2010.  Volunteers are encouraged to participate in site excavations on the following dates:

• January 16th, 23rd, 30th
• February - 6th, 13th, 20th
• March** - 13th, *20th, *27th
  (**Subject to change due to visiting groups)
  (*  Dates in question, please contact us to confirm availability)

We work rain or shine as the excavation is covered by a large stressed skin structure. The building also keeps us warm (okay, warmer) even on the cold days though we do suggest dressing in layers so you can adjust. Volunteers are taken on a first-come basis though GSAR members will have priority.  If you are interested in volunteering at Gault please contact Nancy at nlittlefield@gaultschool.org.

Speaking of the GSAR, if you haven’t yet joined, please consider it! 

After a long period of planning and a great deal of work, the Bell County Museum in downtown Belton will open its permanent exhibit on the Gault Site on June 5th and 6th, 2009.

Friday night, June 5 will be the VIP opening, by invitation only, to which all GSAR members are invited.  Wonderful hors d’oeuvures, violin and harp music will be provided.  Dr. Mike Collins will be the keynote speaker.  We expect a marvelous evening and more than 200 people in attendance.

Saturday, June 6, the exhibit will open to the public.
