Boston certainly loves its time capsules.
The 1795 time capsule, thought to have been created by Paul Revere and Samuel Adams, was discovered in December in a cornerstone of the Massachusetts Statehouse. The original capsule, made of cowhide, was shifted into a copper box in 1855. In December, the capsule was taken to Boston's Museum of Fine Arts to be opened.
