CADDO TIME CAPSULE: Unearthing history at Caddo Lake 
State Park ... we'll explain on Passport to Texas.

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

Fifteen years ago, on the sixtieth anniversary of Caddo 
Lake State Park, a time capsule was buried at the site.
 
I wasn't here, so I don't know what's in that time capsule; it's 
going to be very interesting to dig it up. :05

Superintendent Todd Dickinson says July 4th, the 75th 
anniversary of the park, staff will unearth that capsule.

That's correct. We'll be unearthing a time capsule which was 
placed at the sixtieth anniversary, and we're trying to find as 
many people as we can that were here at the sixtieth anniversary, 
so they can participate in this. :11

They intend to rebury the container with new artifacts, to 
be opened in 2084, the park's 150th anniversary; you can 
help decide what future Texans find. 

On this day, we will be gathering items, but we're not going to 
actually place [bury] the new time capsule probably until two or 
three weeks later, once we decide what all's actually going to go 
in there. :09

In addition to images and artifacts from the park and 
region, Dickinson hopes to add something truly special.

There's a handful of people that were here at the grand opening, 
you know, as children, seventy-five years ago. And. We're going to 
try really hard to have them be here on that day and maybe -- if 
they will -- put some thoughts down on paper about what they 
remember and what's changed over the years. And that would be 
something that we could include in the time capsule. :18

So what should go into the time capsule? Log onto 
passporttotexas.org and let us know; we'll pass along 
your suggestions.

That's our show for today ... For Texas Parks and 
Wildlife ... I'm Cecilia Nasti
