World War II Memorial Plaque (a picture of the tree is forthcoming shortly)
On this plaque atop this stone encasing resting in front of Midlothian Village Hall, there is the promise that underneath such a strong and imposing barrier lies a collection of items meant to be seen no earlier than the year 2076.
X-ray technology aside, this symbolic burial of mementos comes complete with at least the idea that some sort of celebration will transpire the day such opening occurs, but until then one can only walk by and wonder what possibly could have been dropped into the ground for the future generation to see…
If you have any information regarding the burial of this time capsule, please consider submitting such information (pictures, audio, circumstances leading up to and/or after the event) to the Midlothian Historical Society or posting it to the Internet.
Even though the elections are over, it still is important to preserve at least some of the elements that went into the election, including some of the published political materials being distributed leading up to the 2009 election of non-candidates.
