Sheldon Iowa, a city of 5,178 people about three and a half
hours northwest of Des Moines, was founded in 1872. Today they’re celebrating their
150th anniversary with coffee and birthday cake. The original plan was to dig
up a time capsule they buried fifty years ago, put the items that were inside
on display, refill the time capsule with new items reflecting life in 2022, and
bury it again. There’s only one slight problem. No one’s really sure where the
time capsule was buried. They have a rough idea where to find it, but they
thought digging willy-nilly and leaving their park pock-marked with holes might
not be the best way to celebrate a sesquicentennial. So, they’ll leave off
hunting for the time capsule until after the festivities are over. Then they’ll
hire a company with an underground radar system: the same one that helped Sibley,
Iowa find their lost time capsule earlier this year.
