OSWEGO – This year, City of Oswego Mayor Robert A. Corradino, in an effort to preserve Oswego’s historical significance, has established a committee tasked with creating a new time capsule set to be opened in 2048.
The group, established in January, is composed of several community members and city employees willing to volunteer their time towards this initiative. The small group is chaired by Deputy City Clerk, Greg Caster.
“The Time Capsule Committee is composed of a strong team that has been working diligently to compile a collection of items that are symbolic of our lives in Oswego in 2025,” Caster said. “This is an exciting and historically important task that I am very proud to be working on with a such a great team. The capsule will be a great asset for our future community to reflect upon and be a glowing representation of our day-to-day lives.”
The capsule, once sealed, will include a collection of items that’s representative of Oswegonians’ way of life in 2025 and won’t be opened until 2048, the bicentennial celebration of the City of Oswego’s establishment.
It will include a collection of items tailored to provoke memories of present-day community members’ lives and provide a glimpse for our future neighbors to reflect upon and compare lifestyles once opened in 2048.
“The time capsule project is a testament to our community’s shared history and aspirations,” Mayor Corradino said. “By preserving the stories and achievements of today, we are creating a bridge to the future—a gift for the Oswegonians of 2048 to reflect on how far we’ve come. This initiative embodies the spirit of progress and pride that defines our city.”
The City of Oswego is planning to have a celebration later this year to commemorate the capsule’s unveiling and sealing.
