The second historic Boston time capsule to emerge in months, a Revere-era bundle discovered in a cornerstone of the Massachusetts State House on December 11, was revealed to the public during a Tuesday press conference at the Museum of Fine Arts.
Artifacts conservator Pam Hatchfield unpacked the 5.5 by 7.5 inch brass box alongside Massachusetts Archive and Commonwealth Museum executive director Michael Comeau, revealing two dozen centuries-old coins and a medal depicting George Washington, a silver plate marking the day the capsule was placed, a paper impression of the seal of the Commonwealth, a title page from the Massachusetts Colony Records, and the front pages of five folded newspapers.

Such brilliant men but you have to wonder why they couldn't come visit us themselves in their time capsule.
If only their knowledge on time travel hadn't been lost in the Great Chicago Fire, we could build our own time capsule to go ask them ourselves

I look forward to seeing the newspaper articles when they're unfolded.

So, if we could do a SECr time capsule, what would we put in it and where would we bury it?
