Earlier today, officials removing the base of the Confederate monument located in front of the County Administration Building in downtown Henderson discovered a time capsule. The monument was dedicated on November 10, 1910.
In a special called meeting of the Vance County Commissioners on June 30, 2020, the Board voted 4-3 to remove, store and preserve the Confederate statue.
According to Vance County Manager Jordan McMillen, the discovered time capsule is approximately 12 inches long and six inches wide. Items recovered include:
- A copy of the New York Herald dated May 8, 1910
- A copy of the Atlanta Journal dated May 7, 1910
- A copy of the Memorial Day celebration program from May 10, 1910
- A Masonic guide and directory from 1908
- A copy of the N.C. Federation of Women’s Clubs annual meeting program held in Henderson
- Misc. other paper items
McMillen said there was water in the cavity, so County officials are working to dry out and preserve the paper items.
