In celebration of the 2005 opening of Millennium Park, which was created with the idea of leaving something for future Fallon generations, the City buried a time capsule there, underneath the bricks near the City Clock Tower landmark.
The sealed container, slated to be opened in 2055, contains copies of the local newspapers in circulation in 2005 (the Lahontan Valley News and the Fallon Star Press); notes to future Fallon residents; mementos from elementary school students and the local KVLV-AM country music station; a copy of the Millennium Park dedication ceremony program; and lots of photographs.
The included images depict the 2005 Millennium Commission members, local officials, the Millennium Park celebration and Fallon’s annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.
