As the United States prepares for the 250th celebration, the Missouri State Archives, in collaboration with the America 250 Missouri Commission, are calling for the public to join them with a new project.
From now through December 31st, 2026, the Archives is accepting items of Missouriana to be placed in a time capsule.
The “time capsule” will look different than what most people picture.
Instead of being buried or encased in cement, the time capsule will live in the Archives’ rare documents vault – the perfect place for artifacts to grow old.
One of the items submitted for the time capsule is a ticket stub from Game 6 of the 1964 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Yankees.
The Yankees won this game to tie the series 3-3, before the Cardinals took Game 7.
