This an absolute delight for history buff, but it should be of interest to everyone in the country.

I can only imagine how a time capsule from today will be looked upon in 200 years.

maybe there’s an original copy of the US Constitution and a memo about an elected president bypassing this and the Bill of Rights and that the Citizens should take up arms and overthrow said tyrant and reestablish the Republic...

I know - I know....I’m dreaming....but it would be nice...

It was opened in 1855 then placed back under the courthouse.

Were there instructions to open this now? If not, let it alone. I don’t understand why people can’t leave things like this for future generations. This generation isn’t the be all and end all of the world.

That’s why it was put back in 1855.

So...they open it. Aghast looks. Seal it up again, replace it, walk away with nobody talking.

48 hours later...zombies.

>>>Officials said they removed five folded newspapers, a Massachusetts commonwealth seal and at least 24 coins from the time capsule, including half-cent, one-cent, half-dime, 10-cent and 25-cent coins. Another set of coins included a pine tree shilling from 1652 and a copper medal showing George Washington.

As she looked at papers inside the box, Hatchfield said, “the paper is in amazingly good condition.”<<<
