Happening in Fulton: Fulton County Opens 25-Year Time Capsule, Sets New One for 2050

August 22, 2025

Fulton County opened a time capsule from 2000, and now they look to make one to be opened in another 25 years. Hear more from Arts and Culture Deputy Director Dr. Joycelyn Fowler and Chief Probate Judge Hon Kenya Johnson. I think this work is extremely important. It gives us a glimpse of what happened in the past, but it aso gives us an opportunity to really consider what we're doing right now and see if there's work we still have to do. Opening the time capsule from 2000 was a real treat because it was an opportunity for the past to speak to us. Special thanks to the Atlanta History Center for their collaboration in doing this, and also in the Fulton Through the Years exhibit that we plan to unveil, and also the setting of a new time capsule that will be opened in 2050. We all are excited about that, and we all plan to be there for the opening of that in 2050.
