Opening a time capsule in El Paso County, Colorado:
Wrote reader yogahz, "I was doing some research on El Paso County in Colorado and found this link that I thought was interesting:
http://www2.coloradocollege.edu/Library/SpecialCollections/CenturyChest/Appdx.html
It's to a time capsule that was buried in 1901 and then opened on January 1, 2001. The site has both images and transcripts of the letters with accompanying images of the items that were also included. It's a comprehensive and well-documented look at late 19th/(really) early 20th-century life in Colorado Springs. One of those '...there's goes the day...' kind of links."
Hey, she said it, not me.
