Successful Project
It was a success! At the end of the restoration, it looked even better and was more stable and safe. The workers for the project got more than they bargained for. They’re the ones who discovered the cornerstone, which is like a time capsule.
From Long Ago
How old was it? It’s about as old as the structure. The cornerstone got buried after being filled with interesting things so that future generations could find it. The time capsule was laid on July 4, 1815, and about 30,000 people were there. No one has seen it in about 200 years!
