Couple Finds 28-Year-Old Time Capsule in Wall During Renovation, Stunned by Contents
- •A couple renovating their new old house discovered a 28-year-old letter, a time capsule, hidden inside a wall.
- •The letter, dated August 17, 1997, was left by the former owners who deliberately hid it after finding no secrets themselves.
- •It humorously detailed the previous owner's "bad work" and apologized for any future wall issues.
- •The former owners shared their lives: wife's paralegal studies, husband's video game tech job, and his business selling Adirondack chairs via a "webpage."
- •A poignant line read: "When you are reading this package, this technology will probably seem very old," reflecting 90s internet excitement.
Why It Matters: A hidden 1997 letter in a renovated house offered a fascinating glimpse into former owners' lives and 90s tech.
