Did you have family, friends or any other connection in Dorchester County 50 years ago? Then there may be a message or treasure waiting for you! During the county’s 350th Anniversary Celebration in September, officials opened a 50-year-old time capsule filled with letters, small packages and mementos from 1969. Many were addressed to “heirs,” “descendants” or the “future generation.” The 350th Anniversary Committee is now putting out a call to the community to help spread the word and connect these treasures with their proper owners!
