The folks back then acknowledged the town not only celebrated the Centennial of the founding of Century, approx 1901 to Y2K but tied it into the 1000 year celebration of time marching on. The marking of the. Cenenial aligns with the turning of the 1000 year mark in time. My grandparents assumed ownership of the old Hart Hardware at the state line, and I now live in the old family home built in 1938 at Stateline. From my front window, I saw them building the overpass. I lived all over the world, but now I'm back home, watching folks celebrate being here at the Welcome to the Free State of Florida. I wonder if Gradmother added anything to the time capsule?The history of this town is precious and still lives on in the present day. I love it here. Nice Article. I have a sweet magnolia tree that predates the establishment of the settlement of the town in my lovely yard in the town limits. It's a special and sacred spot in this big wide world. I've seen some awesome historical photos of the exact location being admired on other pages. The train whistle still blows. It's magical. It’s pretty cool.

A little reading of books or higher paid teachers? Now think how best to spend Century’s budget. Embarrassing, but enlightening. Ancient folks probably would have used wax on ceramic jars.

Water will always infiltrate in over time. I don't think this one would've had the actual burial vault seal because those are *not* easy to open back up. I do wonder who decided to not use some sort of waterproof lining, though. Ziploc bags are not 100% impermeable. I wonder what people from 2000 would think of the state of things today across the board (not just focused on one aspect). I want to go back to living like things were back then that's for sure. @JustMe concrete is porous. Water will always infiltrate in over time.
