A time capsule was sealed at the groundbreaking ceremony for the dam on December 4, 1944. The contents were assembled by the organizing committee. A separate list of the contents was not kept, as the capsule itself was considered the record.
The location of the capsule was recorded at the time by the committee secretary. The record was placed with the committee's other papers. The papers were transferred several times in the years that followed, and are believed to be complete.
The Society has searched its holdings for the record on several occasions, most recently at the direction of Ms. Hanawalt. The search was thorough. Members describe it as “very thorough.”
The capsule remains sealed and in place. Its condition is presumed good.
Residents with information regarding the location are asked to present it at a regular meeting. Appointments are not necessary for this purpose.
