Back to the Future on the Caroline County Courthouse Green

The future was the focus on the Caroline County Courthouse Green on Thursday, September 17, 2026, when students and staff members from Colonel Richardson High School and North Caroline High School, along with Caroline County Public School staff, joined county leaders and the Caroline County 250 Commission and buried a time capsule slated to be opened in 2076. The capsule used in the reburial was the original metal box used for the 1976 time capsule, which was unearthed in March of 2026, and was reburied in the same location as the 1976 capsule. Elizabeth Pickett, who was the mastermind of the 1976 capsule, was on hand for the reburial during this semiquincentennial year.

Caroline Review Editor Kennedy Thomason Schultz attended the memorial event and shares a report and photos on the event here.
