Leslie Time Capsule Unboxing | WKAR Student Reporting | Wali Khan

People in the village (now city) of Leslie had embedded the capsule in the foundations of the former Leslie High School when the building was under construction in 1929.

Members of the Leslie Historical Society, local leaders, and Leslie residents gathered at the High School auditorium on Tuesday, December 5 to see what was in the almost century-old copper box. The box had been soldered shut, so that the contents of the capsule would be untouched by the elements.

“So we're pretty sure that there was no water damage, which happens frequently in these,” Tim Howery, Vice-President of the Leslie Historical Society said. “It's heavy. It's got stuff in it. And we're just kind of excited to see what there is.”

Using a hammer and pliers, a member of the Leslie Historical Society opened the box and revealed a collection of mementos, letters, newspapers and photographs.

Cheryl Hemstreet, President of the Leslie Historical Society, pulled out the objects from the box, and announced the contents to the crowd.
