At which Philadelphia landmark park was America250’s national time capsule buried?

America250’s national time capsule was buried at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia.

The park preserves major sites connected with the American Revolution and the creation of the United States, including Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. That setting made it an especially meaningful location for a capsule intended to represent the nation at its 250th anniversary.

The burial connected a future-facing project with the places where the United States’ founding story unfolded. Contributions from states, territories, federal institutions, and America250 partners were gathered to create a record for people living centuries later.

The park is sometimes shortened in conversation to “Independence Mall,” the historic district where several of its attractions stand. The official name of the National Park Service unit, however, is Independence National Historical Park.
