At which Philadelphia site was the official America250 time capsule placed?

The official America250 time capsule was placed at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia.

The park preserves several locations central to the founding of the United States, including Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were debated. Selecting Philadelphia connects the future-facing capsule with the revolutionary events commemorated by America250.

The capsule is intended to be opened in 2276, the 500th anniversary year of American independence. Its contents represent the United States in 2026 and are meant to give future generations a tangible record of contemporary culture, government, and civic life.

Independence National Historical Park is not the same as the National Mall in Washington, D.C., another major site for America250 events. Nor is it limited to Independence Hall: the park includes a collection of historic buildings and public spaces across central Philadelphia.
