The World's Fair time capsules, sealed until the year 6939
Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens
Westinghouse Electric · CC BY-SA 3.0 · Wikimedia Commons
Westinghouse lowered an 800 pound copper alloy tube fifty feet into the fairground at noon on the 1938 equinox, packed with seeds in sealed vials, a Kewpie doll, a dollar bill, Camel cigarettes and reels of microfilm, to be dug up in five thousand years. A second capsule went down beside it after the 1964 fair. Three thousand copies of a Book of Record went to libraries around the world explaining where the capsules are and how to read English when the time comes. A seven-ton granite marker sits over the spot.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
