TIME CAPSULE TO BE OPENED AT 11:00 AM WEDNESDAY

The time capsule and its protective vault saw daylight for the first time since 1976 today when contractors removed it from its resting place in preparation for an opening Wednesday. The vault appeared to be in good shape and was slightly larger than a cubic yard in size. The capsule’s stone marker bears instructions to open in the year 2026. The Port Authority decided the risk of damage to the contents which could occur during a move outweighed the desire to adhere to the wishes transmitted from 1976. A picture of the vault being moved is available at:

The marker stone will be set out on the patio for viewing Tuesday and the vault itself will be set out Wednesday. Opening of the vault and time capsule will begin Wednesday at 11:00 AM and continue until 1:00 PM. Weather permitting, articles from the capsule will be set out on tables for viewing during that time. We hope to enlist the aid of some of the more “senior” personnel currently employed here in opening and displaying the contents.
