As far as burials go, this one was decidedly joyous. Gathered were not mourners in tears, but Eagleswood residents brimming with love for their hometown.

Township officials, volunteers and residents met at town hall on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 16 to bury a time capsule that will be opened in 2074, the town’s bicentennial year. In it are documents, photographs and yearbooks, letters, mementos, meaningful tokens and symbols that, together, represent the town’s identity, values and points of pride.
