An eagle feather and a photo of a famous eagle are among the eight items Wisconsin has contributed to “America’s Time Capsule” in conjunction with the America250 celebration of the country’s 250th birthday.
The time capsule is a 900-pound steel cylinder that will hold more than 200 artifacts, records and objects from all 50 states to tell America’s story when it’s opened in another 250 years. It’ll be buried in Philadelphia on July 4.
Each state was asked to contribute items that represent its history, culture and people.
Here’s what Wisconsin has chosen to represent the state for America’s Time Capsule:
What Wisconsin submitted to America250 time capsule
What each state, district and territory submitted to America250 time capsule
Most states submitted multiple items, and the full list can be viewed on America250’s official website.
