A Night With The Mammoths Anniversary Gala

Make plans to join us this summer for a memorable evening as we celebrate a decade as a National Monument and over 15 years of discovery and preservation at the Waco Mammoth National Monument. This gala will honor the remarkable journey of the monument—from thrilling fossil discoveries to its designation as a National Monument by President Barack Obama. The evening promises to be a night of elegance and inspiration, with exciting opportunities to support the ongoing research, preservation, and educational efforts that make the Waco Mammoth National Monument a vital resource.

A highlight of the evening will be a captivating performance by Merli V. Guerra, Assistant Professor of Dance Technology at Texas A&M University. As part of her PLACE Project, Guerra will blend dance, history, and technology, featuring a 360-degree virtual reality dance piece that immerses guests in the monument's rich past, sparking curiosity and connection with the land's ancient history.
