Summary
Warren, Vermont is burying a brand-new time capsule for America’s 300th birthday—after unearthing a 1976 one packed with bizarre relics like a Jayne Mansfield water bottle, Bob Dylan records, birth control pills, and a joint. This time, town historian Konvicka’s learned from the past: the old capsule was ruined by moisture, so she’s laminating everything—from letters to clippings—and sealing them in plastic bags. They’re even tossing in Twinkies to test longevity. Kids wrote heartfelt letters (one child simply wished “people are still nice”), plus a children’s book, play program, and vintage sweatshirt. The most touching part? Seeing people try to capture their identity for future strangers. Buried Saturday, September 12th at 3:30 PM at the pavilion, this capsule is a message to generations yet unborn—a snapshot of now, written in hope for tomorrow.
