Fifty years ago, the Lawrence County Bicentennial Committee was formed to help commemorate the 200th birthday of the United States of America. They put together a time capsule of documents and other items from the county in 1976 and sealed it shut with instructions to open it in 2026. That event will occur in early December.

The Lawrence Public Library District has announced that it will host the opening of the time capsule on Saturday, December 5th at 2 p.m. in the Community Room at the library located at 814 12th Street in Lawrenceville.

The public is invited to attend and help celebrate the opening on that day.
