The time capsule beneath the cornerstone of the Anglican Church hall was removed Friday morning, revealing a treasure trove of historic artifacts.
It only took a little over an hour for local stonemasons to pop the stone out, revealing a tin box entombed in 1922.
It was then taken to Touchstones Nelson and opened under the supervision of archivist Laura Fortier.
The contents were found to be in excellent condition, and included photographs, coins, postcards, newspapers, and a variety of documents relating to the church, city, and Masonic Lodge.
They will be displayed at a church dinner on October 6 to say goodbye to the hall, which was recently sold.
