Time Capsule
Overview
As part of Southwest Harbor's Centennial celebration in 2005, the Southwest Harbor Historical Society was given the task to collect artifacts and seal them in a white, box-like plastic time capsule to be opened in 100 years. The capsule was just sealed in September of 2010.
Location
The sealed capsule is in the SWHHS office, currently at Harbor House, Southwest Harbor.
