Lake Elsinore Residents Invited To Time Capsule Reburial Ceremony

LAKE ELSINORE, CA — Lake Elsinore residents are invited to witness a special moment in the city's history, as officials re-bury the 1991 Main Street Time Capsule. The event is planned for Friday at 3 p.m. in front of City Hall, 130 S. Main Street.

"This Time Capsule was originally placed on Main Street in 1991 commemorating upgrades to our Historic Downtown and City Hall," the city said in a news release.

The capsule was then unearthed on Dec. 11, after 25 years underground.

"The City has purchased a new time capsule and is preparing for its reburial," the city said. "In addition to the existing content from 1991, the City will be adding several new items that reflect the current state of the City including items that were suggested by the community."

What's more, the capsule will include a new plaque with a new date announcing that it is to be reopened 25 years from now: May 12, 2042.

For more information, contact the City Clerk's Department at (951) 674-3124.
