Boston's Time Capsule Update

Remember our story about the time capsule found in Boston? Many of you wrote in asking about what was found inside.

Historians removed the 113-year old time capsule from inside the head of the golden lion statue last week.

Carefully opening the lid, they were surprised to see a red book. The rest of the contents will be carefully looked at in a clean environment, but historians expect they'll also find photos of political leaders, newspapers and letters from the time period. The Bostonian Society is asking the public to suggest what should be put inside the modern day time capsule. It will be placed back inside the lion statue for future generations to find.
