The Lyndon, Vermont, Time Capsule
First mentioned in an 1891 Vermont newspaper, the capsule is an iron box containing proceedings of the town's centennial celebration. It was scheduled to be opened on July 4, 1991. Citizens have looked in the town vault, the bank and the library but have not found the box. The time capsule may not have been buried at all, since some ceremonies were canceled due to rain. Lyndon residents have vowed not to lose their new time capsule which is set to be sealed July 4.
This and eight other "most wanted" missing time capsules are listed on the website of Oglethorpe University's International Time Capsule Society (http://goo.gl/tP8Cns). There is apparently no reward for finding one. But if you find one maybe your name could be listed in another time capsule somewhere and get lost too.
