The superintendent said the discovery of the time capsule marks a 'historic event for our community.'
In what Superintendent Jeff Elstad called a 'historic event for our community,' a more than century-old time capsule has been discovered in the demolition of an old high school Owatonna, Minnesota . The contents of the capsule were unveiled for the first time during a press conference this week. Bob Olson, director of facilities, infrastructure and security at Owatonna Public Schools, said at the event that the capsule was discovered while an old school was being taken down.
And inside was a vast collection – and a typed list of everything inside. Among the items was a copy of one of the high school's first student newspaper volumes, finance committee reports, a list of mayors and city reporters, numerous items from the Minnesota Freemasons, and even a booklet written in Czech.There was even information about the school at the time. The enrollment, uncovered documents show, was just 327 students in 1920.
