Nov. 18, 2008 - Time capsule opened in Franklin Township

A 90 year old retired teacher reflects

I came across this Star-Ledger video documenting the opening of a 1957 time capsule, here in Franklin Township and it got me thinking; do folks really still do fun stuff like this anymore? I recall several times in my childhood that we placed items in a time capsule to be opened "sometime in the future". Honestly, I have no idea if they ever were recovered, as I moved away from my home town.

Time Capsule is opened in Franklin Township
 
If you are interested in preserving a bit of history, maybe a special family event, here are tips on how to create your own time capsule.  Nancy Wurtzel gives great suggestions on creating a time capsule for your baby.
