Time capsules are designed as an intentional method of communicating with people who will be alive at a future date. The oldest known time capsule in America was placed by Paul Revere and Samuel Adams in the cornerstone of the Massachusetts State House in 1795.
In the summer of 2021, the church where I (Comer) have served for 25 years gave me a sabbatical, which they took as an opportunity to remodel my office. While replacing ceiling tiles they discovered some interesting items.
