Time Capsule Buried by Samuel Adams and Paul Revere Unveiled Masonic lodge connections. The time capsule some 220 years after it was originally planted by Sam Adams and Paul Revere.
A Silver tablet, probably inscribed by Paul Revere, found among Contents of Boston Time Capsule Buried by Samuel Adams and Paul Revere. The silver tablet reminds us of just how instrumental the Masonic lodge was in the founding of our country. Mentioned in the inscription on the tablet is Massachusetts governor Sam Adams. The Massachusetts grand lodge's, most worshipful Paul Revere and right worshipful deputy grand master William Scollay.
Among the first items removed from the time capsule yesterday were folded newspapers, which Hatchfield stated were in “amazingly good condition.” There were five of them in all, including copies of the Boston Bee and Boston Traveller. Then came some 23 coins, in denominations of “half-cent,” penny, quarter, dime and half-dime. Some dated to the mid-19th century, while others were from 1795; a so-called “Pine Tree Shilling” dated to 1652. In addition, the box contained a copper medal with George Washington’s image and the words “General of the American Army”; a seal of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and a title page from the Massachusetts Colony Records. Finally, Hatchfield removed a silver plate with fingerprints still on it, bearing an inscription dedicating the State House cornerstone on the 20th anniversary of American independence in July 1795.
