Time capsule from 1941 unearthed at Indiana Dunes National Park

A time capsule from 1941 was discovered by a contractor at Indiana Dunes National Park in the town of Porter, officials announced last week.

"On the afternoon of September 23, 2024, as rehabilitation work funded through the Great American Outdoors Act was underway, a heavily oxidized and sealed copper box was discovered in the foundation of the lodge," park rangers wrote in a recent Facebook post.

The post included photos showing the contents of the box along with the history of the park area in which the time capsule was found.
