What Was Inside Of It

We bet that you want to know what was hiding inside! When they lifted the lid of the cornerstone, they found four glass jars. Each and every one of them had been stuffed with all kinds of things. They found a few newspapers that were dated at the start of July 1815. This was the time that its construction began, so those who made the time capsules must have wanted to share what it was like in those days.
