Just resharing this as it is being discussed on FB again...If you can't make it to the Fall Festival to see the items, we will have them on display at the Marshall House hopefully within a week or so following. Our regular hours are Wednesday 11-2--but we are also open by appointment. Another option: come to our Christmas Open House on Saturday, December 5 from 10-4. See the time capsule items and enjoy the holiday decor and refreshments!

Good news to all of those wondering about the 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐄 that was buried at the 𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐓𝐎𝐍 𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐋 in 1976--it will be on display in the Dayton Elementary Library during the Fall Festival on November 6. The hours are 5-8 p.m.⁣
⁣
𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥, the items will be displayed at the Marshall House! If you can't make the Festival, you will still be able to check out the contents. You can visit during our regular open hours or schedule a time to stop by--just contact us.
