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:
McMillen said there was water in the cavity, so County officials are working to dry out and preserve the paper items.
