The goal of this project is to maintain Long Valley's history, as well as to describe Long Valley in 2015-2016 to future generations. There will also be a historical component of Long Valley's past. The three main things that will go into the capsule are photos, interviews, and artifacts. However, any other suggestions and/or contributions are always welcome and appreciated!
The Long Valley Time Capsule will be buried in the fall of 2016. The goal is to gather as many pictures/videos/artifacts as possible to be put in the capsule. If you would like to be interviewed, fill out a brief questionnaire,or contribute please contact [email protected].

Recommendations for Creating a Time Capsule:
- Establish a line of communication with town officials and everyone involved in the project
- Set goals for what exactly should be in the time capsule
- Ask for donations from clubs/organizations
- Keep all donations and time capsule contents organized!!
- Create a website and flyers to get the word out
- Take photos during all times of the year
- Before ordering the capsule, check with all people involved and the town officials to make sure all things will fit in the box, and that everyone is satisfied with its contents
- Check all options for ordering- PVC boxes work great and are relatively inexpensive
- Make sure to bury it in the proper conditions so that it does not get destroyed over time
