Committee seeks names for Centennial letters

The Hampton Historic Preser-vation Society and the Hamp-ton 150th Committee is seeking the public’s help in claiming letters left in a time capsule.

At Hampton’s Centennial Celebration in 1970, citizens wrote letters to family members that were then sealed in the time capsule to be opened at the city’s 150th celebration, which is this year.

The letters will be distribut-ed to whom they were ad-dressed on Sunday, June 7. The 150th Committee is work-ing to contact the recipients of the letters but has a handful in which no contact has been made.
