A time capsule that is believed to be from the 1820s was found at West Point recently. The capsule is expected to be pried open on Aug. 28, 2023.
It's not certain exactly when the box was placed in the monument's marble base or who chose any items inside, though a committee of five cadets that may have been involved with the time capsule included 1829 graduate Robert E. Lee, the future Confederate general.
The box will be opened during a livestreamed event.
