Cedar Hill Community Time Capsule
August 26, 2005
The new Government Center is set to open some time in 2008. More than any city building in a long time, the Government Center will represent a milestone in the history of Cedar Hill.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to memorialize this moment in our history with a Community Time Capsule?
I’m just thinking off the top of my head here, but imagine a time capsule underneath the main entrance to the Government Center. A plaque embedded in the walkway would proudly mark the location of the capsule, “Cedar Hill Community Time Capsule. Sealed on November 14, 2007 by the people of Cedar Hill, Texas — A Premier City.”
Sealing the time capsule could be a community event in conjunction with the ribbon cutting for the Center. It would be a time to look to the future of Cedar Hill while celebrating the past. That, incidentally, was one of the themes we chose as we worked to raise the funds to build the Government Center.
The Government Center would be a monument to the past and future of Cedar Hill. A living tribute to our posterity.
