Greenwich Students Invited to Contribute to Time Capsule

greenwich-historical-society-ghs-logo

The Greenwich Historical Society invites students to contribute to the cultural legacy of the town by submitting creative content for a time capsule that will become part of the cornerstone of its newly constructed museum and archive building. Affectionately named “Elizabeth” for Greenwich’s founding mother Elizabeth Feake, the capsule will be installed at a public event on Nov. 4.

How to participate:

  • Students in Greenwich elementary, middle, and high schools enter by preparing a brief essay (1-2 paragraphs) or artwork on 8.5 x 11″ paper that reflects their hopes, dreams, and predictions for the town in the year 2067.
  • Submissions should include the student’s full name, age, and school. By submitting an essay or drawing, students and parents acknowledge that the Greenwich Historical Society has rights to use it in social media, public relations, and for other promotional purposes, and that those rights can be transferred to third party media.
  • Submissions should be emailed to: admin@greenwichhistory.org or sent via mail to: Time Capsule, Greenwich Historical Society, 39 Strickland Road, Cos Cob, CT 06807.
  • All entries must be received by Oct. 27 for consideration to be inserted into the capsule along with other items that will offer a glimpse into what life was like in Greenwich in 2017.

The top three submissions will be published in Greenwich Magazine and two runners up will receive a family membership to the Greenwich Historical Society. Greenwich Magazine is polling residents on what other items should be included in the time capsule. Residents can submit ideas by visiting greenwichmag.com/timecapsule

“Elizabeth” will be installed on Saturday, Nov. 4 at 11 a.m. in a public ceremony at the newly constructed museum and archive building at 47 Strickland Rd. All participating students and their families, Historical Society members and supporters, and all Greenwich residents are invited to attend.
