Scattergood Hall Time Capsule
The Christiansburg Institute (CI) Time Capsule, sealed within the cornerstone of Scattergood Hall during its construction, offers a unique glimpse into the lives, hopes, and legacy of CI’s students and faculty. Carefully assembled by the CI community, this capsule contains cherished items that speak to the everyday life and spirit of the time. Among these artifacts are a 1942 George Washington quarter, an infant’s shoe from a resident of the campus, a New Testament in delicate condition, and a slate plaque inscribed by the Class of 1951-1952, showing the enduring pride and unity of CI students. Despite extensive water damage and deterioration, these items remain powerful symbols of CI’s history and its community’s resilience.
Preserving the CI Time Capsule presents unique challenges due to its age and fragile condition. It requires cleaning and proper housing to safeguard its integrity. Your sponsorship will support the careful conservation of these irreplaceable pieces, ensuring they are stabilized and protected so that future generations can continue to connect with the legacy and memories of those who built CI.
