On Friday afternoon, the McPherson Fire Department, along with representatives from the City of McPherson and McPherson Police Department, buried two time capsules under the flagpole at the fire department. The time capsules replace the two original ones that were buried in 1972 and 1976 for McPherson’s Centennial and America’s Bicentennial and then opened for McPherson’s 150th anniversary on May 28, 2022. Today’s capsules will be opened in 2072 and include items from residents, schools, factories and local businesses. Pfizer included a vial of COVID-19 vaccine, while others donated photos, documents, and even a plastic duck. McPherson Board of Public Utilities donated 50 years of comprehensive plans for McPherson for future generations to see the city’s progress.
