Time capsule
The City of Longview turns 100 in 2023.
Longview Masonic Lodge #263 turns 100 in 2024.
To celebrate our shared history, Longview Lodge is participating in two time capsule events!
On Friday, January 20th, the Lodge will participate in the City's centennial kick off event at the Merck. We were asked to open the time capsule placed at city hall 25 years ago, during the City's 75th birthday celebration. Come join us, it'll be great fun!
On September 9, at 2:00 PM, the Lodge will give a birthday present to the City - a new time capsule, meant to be opened in another 100 years, on the City's bicentennial!
Help us put together the new time capsule. We need your ideas. Send them to us!
(Don't forget to include your name so your great-grandkids can be proud)
Here are some categories or ideas to get you started, but we want to hear from you!
