America 250-Ohio: Future Ohio 2076 Time Capsule
A Message From Rittman Today to the Generations of Tomorrow!
As part of our final America 250-Ohio celebration, we're inviting the community to help create a time capsule representing life in Rittman in 2026!
During Candy Land Christmas, stop by our Time Capsule Station to contribute letters, drawings, memories, photographs, or small keepsakes representing our community today.
Our goal is to preserve these memories in a secure indoor public display until the capsule is opened in 2076, celebrating America's 300th anniversary!
What will you tell Rittman in 2076?
❤️ Celebrate the Season. Support Local. Make Memories.
Bring your family, invite your friends, and experience the magic of Christmas in Rittman!
