Turnback Tuesday visits Derby’s 300th celebration of June, 1975. These photos of the burial of the Tercentennial Time Capsule were taken on the last day of the celebration: Sunday June 8, 1975 at 10 a.m.
Valerie Wasilewski, who was on the Executive Board Publicity Division for the celebration, is pictured here with Daniel Saccu. They're adding all the letters contributed by Derby residents to the capsule.
The Valley Monument Works donated the stone placed over the capsule which reads “Derby Tercentennial Time Capsule Buried 1975 – Reopen 2025.”
Just imagine what stories or memories have been waiting to be retold.
Thanks go to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
