Sam Gault, current Gault Energy & Stone President who
is the fifth generation to head the company that bears his name, paid homage to Robert
Gault, his great-great-grandfather and company’s original founder, says the
company’s anniversary celebration will highlight Robert’s immense gratitude for the opportunities
available to him in his adopted country, and the tradition of giving back that Robert, and his descendants ever since,
have bestowed on the community over the years through a
variety of philanthropic, civic, arts and sports initiatives
that promoted the progress and betterment of the town and the region.
“Our 150th anniversary is much more than a company
milestone,” says Gault, president of Gault Energy & Stone. “It’s a
celebration of family and community, and an opportunity to reflect on our history, as a family
and as a company, as an integral part of our community.” Gault adds that today’s announcement
that his family’s barn will be added to the State Register of Historic Places
is a symbolic reminder of his family’s humble beginnings. “For five
generations, my family has preserved
and maintained the barn
while also using it to support our various businesses. We’re truly honored that
historians and curators
from the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation and the Westport Historical Society agree that this family treasure is worthy of recognition.” The Gault Family looks forward to celebrating our “150 Years of Community” campaign throughout the year with you, our loyal customers and community members.
