For the final chapter of our 350th Anniversary of the City and 250th Anniversary of our Country, we will be assembling another Time Capsule to be opened in the future.

As part of the project we have put together a preliminary list of items suggested to be place in the new time capsule.

Please let us know if you have any other ideas for inclusion in the Time Capsule by posting a comment.
