America’s Time Capsule sealed until 2276
A remarkable chapter in America250's story is nearly complete: America's Time Capsule has officially been sealed.
Created to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the capsule will be buried at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia on July 4, 2026, where it will remain until it is reopened in 2276.
Inside is a record of America at this historic moment, contributions from all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and five U.S. territories, along with items from all three branches of the federal government, America250 programs, and national partners.
