Time Capsule Discovered in Green-Wood Cemetery

Last Thursday, a construction worker was working on the expansion of Green-Wood's Crematory and Columbarium when he hit something strange in a wall: a metal box.

Last Thursday, a construction worker, using a jackhammer, was working on the expansion of Green-Wood’s Crematory and Columbarium when he hit something strange in a wall: a metal box. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that this was no ordinary box–it was a time capsule!

It turns out that Ken Taylor, Green-Wood’s vice president for operations, who has been at Green-Wood for a long time, had seen a photograph, years ago, of a time capsule being placed in that building, near the cornerstone.

When he learned last week that a time capsule just had been found, he remembered that photograph.
