During the scorching months of summer, allergies reappear and can potentially get worse if your home is not adaptable to the conditions outside.

If you’re someone who gets bad reactions to allergies and spends most of their time inside because of it, make sure your home is stocked with humidifiers. A scratchy throat, runny nose and watery eyes are all symptoms of allergies and humidifying your house can limit these diagnostics.

The Gault Family Barn Officially Becomes A Historical Site!

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.”

Gault Energy & Stone to Kick Off “150 Years of Community” Anniversary Celebration

There’s no doubt that family businesses, like Gault Energy & Stone, are the engine of our economy and the foundation of communities across America.  In fact, according to the Small Business Administration, family businesses comprise 90 percent of all business enterprises in North America, and a whopping 62% of total U.S. employment.  But, building and sustaining a family business over five generations, as the Gault family has done, is truly remarkable, especially when you consider that only 12 percent of family businesses in the U.S. are still viable by the third generation.

This year marks a major milestone in the history of Gault Energy and Stone:  the company’s 150th Anniversary.  The oldest business in the Town of Westport, and the oldest family-owned and –operated fuel company in Fairfield County, Gault Energy & Stone has endured the test of time by constantly evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of the communities it serves.  For 150 years, the company has moved forward, shaping and reshaping its brand, expanding its services, and nurturing its roots across Fairfield County, all the while staying true to its heritage.

In early February, the Gault family will be unveiling details of the company’s year-long  “150 Years of Community” anniversary celebration, designed to honor its founder and highlight the many people, businesses and organizations that are a part of the enduring Gault story. 

On that date, the Gault family will also be announcing another major milestone:  The Gault Barn, formally known as the “Gault Brothers Farmstead”, will be officially added to the Connecticut Register of Historic Places.  Located on Compo Road South in Westport, the Gault Barn uniquely tells the story of the company from 1863 to the present, and embodies the narrative of Gault Energy and Stone through the ages.  Built over the course of several years beginning in 1890 by Gault founder, Robert Gault, the Gault Barn, like the company, has withstood the test of time, and serves as a reminder of the company’s humble beginnings and its hopes for the future. 

The Gault family looks forward to celebrating the company’s 150th milestone with you, our loyal customers and members of the communities we serve, over the weeks and months ahead.
