Fort Bend Museum Exhibit Gallery 410 South 5th Street, Richmond, Tx 77469 Speaker: Olive Talley Topic: Olive Talley will be speaking about a film that was made telling the story of the Gault Archaeological Site in Central Texas. The film called, The Stones Are Speaking, tells the inspiring story of how archaeologist Mike Collins, at great risk and personal sacrifice, saved 30 acres of looted land deep in the heart of Texas and revealed it as one of the most significant sites in the Americas. Collins and his team changed history when they found evidence of people living in Central Texas 20,000 years ago. The film is more than a tale of archaeological discoveries at what is now known as the Gault Archaeological Site. It illustrates the power of an individual to make a difference and what people can accomplish when they work together for the greater good. The film made its theatrical World Premiere at the prestigious Austin Film Festival in October and won the audience award for best Texas Independent Feature.
