50 Years Later… It’s Time!

This summer marks a special moment in Chelsea’s history as a time capsule buried 50 years ago during the nation’s bicentennial is set to be opened.

Carefully preserved instructions—kept in the library’s safe—have guided this long-awaited occasion. Adding to the tradition, the original “keeper of the key,” Jayme Ayn Bollinger (née Spears), chosen as the baby born closest to the burial, has been located and is part of the celebration.

Join the community on Friday, June 26, for an All-American Picnic on the library lawn as we commemorate the nation’s semiquincentennial and unearth this piece of local history together.
