Time capsule recovered from Tompkins Airport during construction

Construction crews working at Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport’s new terminal project discovered a time capsule that had been hidden in the previous terminal’s wall during the 1994 renovation.

“One of the most interesting things about the terminal expansion project was discovering the time capsule that was buried 25 years ago,” says Mike Hall, director of the airport.

Included in the time capsule was the program from the May 21, 1994 Grand Opening Ceremony for the then new terminal, photos of airport staff at the time, 1994 Mint proof sets, ribbon from the ceremony, original blueprints, as well as other miscellaneous local and airport-related items from 1994 like a Wegmans receipt and and issue of Skymall.
