HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Aug. 15 has been proclaimed to be Hutchinson Day.
To celebrate, the public is invited to City Hall for a ceremony where the time capsule buried at City Hall in 1972 will be opened. The event will begin at 10 a.m. outside City Hall for the unearthing of the centennial time capsule and the placement of the sesquicentennial time capsule. Following that, guests will be invited to see the opening of the centennial time capsule.
The centennial time capsule, buried outside City Hall since the building was first completed in 1972, will then be unpacked by Reno County Museum staff in the council chambers. Those who wish to watch are welcome to sit in the gallery or watch the live stream online.
The contents of the centennial time capsule will then be moved to the Reno County Museum, where they will be cataloged and prepared for display. Recipients of letters from the 1972 time capsule will be contacted by the museum.
