This page will be mainly photos, which will help you place the capsule burial grounds on the property. NOTE: Photographs were taken at the end of the Courthouse renovation project. The grounds had been fenced off for over a year and were not in the best condition.

Pulaski County Centennial 1939

There is not a time capsule marker for this celebration. However, the logo will come up again for the Sesquicentennial in 1989.

This book, dated 1939 (pre-WWII) is a faithful go-to for persons interested in the first one hundred years of “developed” Pulaski County. The logo gives a nod to the Native American heritage of the land.
This logo was developed by Bill Webb, the elder, in 1939. He was a printer and important community merchant and volunteer for decades, leaving his business and his legacy to his son, Bill.

United States Bicentennial 1976

There is not a marker for this capsule, but we know where it is, and it will be unburied in April 2026! Look for details as we open the capsule, catalog its contents (we don’t know what’s in it!), and put the contents on display.
