Web Desk(November 30, 2017): Residents of a town opened a time capsule from 1908 and discovered its contents were still tied up with some particularly durable string.
The time capsule discovered embedded in a cornerstone at the School. “This really was a historic event. “There were several items, several hand written items from the students at the school.
We also had different articles from several business people. We also found a ring, a horse ring I think they said it was.”
“Everything was wrapped with string which brought back a lot of memories for me when you used to go to the store everything you picked up was wrapped in string.
And how that string were able to hold its strength after 100 years being sealed in a container was a little bit of a mystery to me,” Bigsby said.
The historical society said the items inside the capsule are being scanned for public use and the original copies will have a new home at the Museum.
