Port Hope Time Capsule
Port Hope became incorporated as a village in 1887. During the centennial celebration in 1987, it was decided to create a time capsule to preserve memorabilia. On July 2, 1989 a container filled with a variety of items was buried at this location. The desire of those then present was to have the capsule opened during the 200 year anniversary celebration, in 2087.
