A postcard or two of the way your city or town looks now.
Write on a piece of paper the price of milk, bread and a gallon of gas.
Perhaps your genealogy as far as you know it.
Write a list of the plants that you grow in your garden. If someone finds it a hundred years from now, wouldn't it be wild to know that , by golly yes, this is the same cherry tree that she was talking about!

I would take pictures of the house as it is now, inside and out and place those in the capsule.

A current newspaper, a favorite book, a favorite cd.

We are putting a time Capsule in the walls of our new home--we have pictures of the burned out home and other items--what would you put in a time capsule??



A stamp
Everyday items, like a lightbulb or a toothbrush or some modern jewelry
How about a music CD or technical gadget
I agree with the newspaper and magazine suggestions
Find a list of "what's popular" in fashion or politics or your church -- how about a monthly newsletter?

How long are you planning on keeping the items inside? If it's inside a wall, do you ever plan on retrieving them yourselves?

We are using a tall thin tin box we have--so far I put newspapers, ads from the papers, family pictures, pictures of the burned out house, grand kid pictures, a few things that we salvaged from the burn out, the fire report, and a piece of the yellow do not cross tape--today I will buy a twinkie--I always said that 100 years from now we will find twinkies and wonderbread in tact in the land fill!!

They will be left there until someone in years to come finds them

How about a dollar bill, quarter, dime, nickel and penny?
