CenterPointe puts in new time capsule while renovating old Lincoln building

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Months after discovering a time capsule, a Lincoln nonprofit put one of its own into the ground on Tuesday.

In January, CenterPointe found a time capsule from 1928 while renovating the old nurses’ dormitory near 13th and South Streets.

So the nonprofit, which offers addiction and mental health treatment, decided to leave a time capsule for someone else to stumble onto in the future.

“Whoever is going to find this is going to be excavating this property in some way because it’s buried below a floor in the dirt,” CenterPointe President Topher Hansen said. “So anybody that is going in there will run into it. And it will be something that gives them pause because of what it looks like.”

CenterPointe’s new building is expected to open next spring.
