2001 Time Capsule
Now on permanent display at Union Station, is a time capsule created to be opened by city leaders of the next century on Jan. 1, 2101. The time capsule was put together in 2000 as part of the city's 150th birthday celebration.
The capsule is encased in a wall at the top of the escalators in Union Station's Grand Hall. Inside are more than 800 messages from area mayors and regular citizens along with several items depicting life in the year 2000. Directly across from the new time capsule is a display featuring items found in the 1900 Century Box opened New Year's Day 2001 at Union Station.
