YMCA Time Capsule Opened

The time capsule, found last month, was opened in front of the Board of Selectmen.

A crowd gathered Wednesday night for the opening of a 101-year-old time capsule

Among the items inside were newspapers dated 1910, coins, YMCA announcements and even a list of all the fire alarms in town.

Items inside the capsule, which belong to the YMCA, will be put into the YMCA archives, Executive Director Meegan O'Neil told selectmen.
