The following article was submitted by District 7A Delegates Ryan Nawrocki and Kathy Szeliga about the Perry Hall Time Capsule burial ceremony.
On Nov. 3, Delegates Kathy Szeliga and Ryan Nawrocki attended the burial ceremony of the Perry Hall Time Capsule at Gough Park.
To celebrate the 250th birthday of Perry Hall, community members buried a time capsule with items from the community, including a letter from Delegates Szeliga and Nawrocki.
Other items included artifacts from schools, churches, community groups, the Perry Hall Improvement Association, and residents who wanted to share a slice of Perry Hall history. The time capsule, donated by Schimunek Funeral Home, was buried in Gough Park.
In a joint letter for the capsule, Delegate Nawrocki said, “As State Delegates for District 7A, it is our honor to represent communities like Perry Hall, encompassing hardworking people who make Eastern Baltimore County great. We are also proud of our nearby retirement communities, Oakcrest Village and Brightview Living, as well as a few over-55 developments that make retirement years healthy and happy with family and friends.”
Delegate Kathy Szeliga shared important Perry Hall history for the future openers of the time capsule.
“In 2025, cars do not yet fly, but we did move a restaurant across a parking lot a few years ago,” said Delegate Szeliga. “Some of us remember the iconic Double T Diner being put on wheels and shifted 200 feet. Many remember the construction and additions to Honeygo, Gough Park, Angel Park, and Snyder Park.”
The time capsule will be opened in 2075
