Dated December 24th, but not posted on FR.
Good list at the link of what is in it (from the recent x-ray and the records from the 1855 opening).
Epiphany?

I love this stuff.
Wonder how the date was chosen. No mention in this or other articles that the opening is scheduled for the Feast of Epiphany, but the word play is obvious.

It’s a time capsule left to us by Harry Sheldon.
This could prove to be very politically embarrassing to the liberals ... or conservatives, but I doubt it.

How interesting! Imagine the hopes they (Samuel Adams, Paul Revere!) had when it was first buried in 1795. I hope they tucked a bunch of prayers in.

The progressives will get a hold of it and claim it is all about government power and the government providing health care for all.

"The progressives will get a hold of it and claim it is all about government power and the government providing health care for all." Wouldn't it be a hoot if it said: "James Madison and Company were really serious about the "Shall not be infringed" part of the 2nd one..."

I hope they tucked a bunch of prayers in. And ammo. As in Praise the Lord and pass the ammo...
Will be an interesting epiphany in more ways than one.

It was opened in 1855 and returned. I would like for this message to be in there:
