1795 time capsule found:
Corrosion, degradation and decay destroy a lot of history, but Massachusetts officials can thank the elements for helping uncover the past.
In a damp ceremony of discovery Thursday, snow-flecked excavators in Boston retrieved a time capsule whose contents are thought to be almost as old as the nation, and even older. It was tucked into a cornerstone of the Massachusetts State House in 1795.

I have an old book that tells of the bunker hill monument being almost done in Boston. They do say some things about the Statehouse and I will have to go back and see if they have the ceremony with Paul Revere and Sam Adams there.
