Hopkinton MA 300th Anniversary

November 10, 2014

Work began today on what will eventually be the time capsule for Hopkinton's 300th Anniversary. The time capsule will be contained in a custom made bench used in the Library after it's renovation. 

A metal, air-tight time container will be inserted into the seat of the bench and store the memorabilia. 

The wood for the bench will come from a large, "spalted" rock maple log which Joe Regan cut in the Mt. Auburn Cemetery this past summer. And today that tree was milled into boards that will be stacked in custom furniture builder John Foster's garage to begin the drying process which will take approximately one year.   

Thank you to Joe Regan of Joe Regan Tree Work and John Foster of Foster Custom Furniture for their help in creating the 300th anniversary time capsule!
