50th Anniversary Time Capsule
The Armstrong Air & Space Museum will be seeking donated items for the 50th Anniversary time capsule. The time capsule will be opened during the museum's 100th anniversary on July 20, 2072. The museum is looking for the time capsule to represent this current moment in history, specifically items that might fascinate future generations and allow them to see what life was like in 2022.
Items will be accepted from November 25 to January 2nd. The first donated items can be dropped off during the museum's Grand Illumination event. Please note that the Armstrong Air & Space Museum reserves the right to decline any item that the museum views as harmful, offensive, damaging, not within proper specifications, or does not align with the mission and vision set forth by the Armstrong Air & Space Museum Association or the Ohio History Connection.
