Time Capsule Sealed at Derby Market Hall

Camp Grayling, Michigan, unearthed a hidden time capsule dated 1921 while preparing to demolish a historic building. Inside were preserved newspapers, coins, and documents that connect the site to the Army National Guard's history, prompting speculation about other undiscovered capsules. Meanwhile, in Seward County, Kansas, a long-forgotten time capsule was finally located after a year of searching, originally buried in 1972, but its exact location had been lost over time. In Derby, England, a new time capsule reflecting life in 2024 was sealed alongside two earlier capsules dating back to 1864 and 1938, as part of a £35 million refurbishment of the Market Hall. Items contributed by local businesses include a 3D printed submarine from Rolls Royce and a model Toyota Corolla, aiming to give future generations insight into contemporary Derby life. The refurbishment project is set to create a vibrant hub for the community when it reopens in Spring 2025.
