Jacksonville's future residents can look forward to a glimpse into the past after the dedication and unveiling of a time capsule at the Duval County Courthouse this week.Officials and residents were on hand for Thursday's event, which featured presentations by Mayor Alvin Brown, City Council President Bill Guilliford, State Attorney Angela Corey, Jacksonville Public Defender Matthew Shirk, and Jacksonville Sheriff John Rutherford, among others.
Officials brought items to place in the time capsule that included official documents related to their roll in city governance, letters to their future predecessors, and letters to their children.
Community members were invited to include small personal items. WJCT producer Sherry Spearman, who took the photos posted above, included her station ID badge, while her son Chase put his Boy Scout Troop 182 neckerchief in the capsule.
The capsule will be opened and it's contents displayed in 2064.
