1976 Zonta Time Capsule Reveal & Celebration
Join in on the America 250 festivities when we uncover the 1976 Zonta Club time capsule in Melgaard Park! Food & Ice-Cream trucks will be there!
The time capsule was originally buried on April 25, 1976, as a Bicentennial project conducted by the Zonta Club. A total of 209 boxes/packages were submitted by local businesses, organizations, families, and individuals. The project procedure at that time required participants to purchase a box, place items and papers representative of 1976 life inside, and return the sealed box along with a duplicate certificate and disposal agreement to the Zonta Club.
April 25th at 1:00pm we’ll kick off with a program along with the City of Aberdeen!
If you have a claim to items inside the vault, head over to our website and fill out a claim form. https://dacotahprairiemuseum.org/1976-zonta-time-capsule. After 90 days, unclaimed items will become property of the Dacotah Prairie Museum.
