The Westinghouse Time Capsules
The Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company is a large electric company in the United
States. It was established in 1886, and it still exists today. In 1939, Westinghouse created a time
capsule for the New York World’s Fair. They filled the capsule with common items from that
time, including pieces of cloth, metal, plastic, plant and vegetable seeds, money, books, art, and
news stories on microfilm. The time capsule is buried in the park in New York where the World’s
Fair was held.
In 1964, Westinghouse made another time capsule for the 1964 World’s Fair and buried it near
the first capsule. The plan is that both of these capsules will be opened in the year 6939—in five
thousand years! Do you think these capsules will last that long? Do you think these items will
help people in five thousand years learn about life in the year 1939?

[AUDIO: MegaGoal Book 1, page 32, The Tulsa Time Capsule, Track 20, paragraphs 4]

The Plymouth was wrapped in protective materials and lowered into a concrete vault, which was
supposed to withstand even a nuclear attack. It lay there for 50 years. On June 13, 2007, the
vault was opened, and the car was raised as thousands of people watched. The organizer of the
event said: “Ladies and gentlemen, I present you Miss Belvedere.” Unfortunately the tomb was
unable to protect the car from moisture, and the vintage vehicle was covered in rust. The
contents of a “typical” woman’s handbag in the glove compartment looked like a lump of rotted
leather. The microfilm that recorded the names of the contestants wasn’t found. There was a bit
of disappointment that the items were not in better condition. However, some items inside the
time capsule were in good shape—they included a U.S. flag and some historical documents,
such as aerial maps of the city and postcards.
