The Town of Voluntown wishes to commemorate and recognize the past, present and future of the Town of Voluntown. It has been determined that a fitting method of "encapsulating" life in Voluntown would be to create a time capsule filled with various items which represent the life and times of Voluntown as we know it at the end of the 20th Century and beginning of the 21st Century, and the Town would like to take every measure possible to ensure the undisturbed preservation of this important historical object.
[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Meeting of the Town of Voluntown 10-21-1999. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Time Capsule will be placed in a sealed compartment and buried in the lawn directly in front of the Town Hall on Main Street,
It shall be a violation of this chapter to take any action, intentionally or negligently, which jeopardizes the safekeeping and preservation of this Time Capsule.
Any violation of this chapter shall be punishable to the full extent of the law.
This chapter shall take effect 30 days after adoption at a Town Meeting, and shall remain in effect until January 1, 2100, at which time the Time Capsule shall be opened.
