Welcome to the Terrace Park Historical Society

Time Capsule Opening

Terrace Park residents are invited to join the Terrace Park Historical Society (TPHS) on Sunday, November 8, 2026, from 3–5 p.m. to celebrate the opening of Terrace Park’s 1976 time capsule.

Parking Information: Parking for the Time Capsule event will be at the Swim Club. Cars will not be able to park at Miami Grove Nature Preserve, but golf carts will be permitted. There will also be a golf cart shuttle between the Swim Club parking and the Pavilion. As seating is limited, you are encouraged to bring folding chairs.

The time capsule was buried in November 1976 as part of the United States’ Bicentennial celebration, marking the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Fifty years later, in November 2026, it will be opened as part of the 250th anniversary celebrations.

The 1976 time capsule will be unearthed and on display at Miami Grove Nature Preserve. At the same event, a new time capsule will be buried, giving today’s residents an opportunity to leave a snapshot of Terrace Park for future generations. No seating will be provided, so bring a chair if you’d like to sit.

Come see what Terrace Park residents chose to preserve 50 years ago—and help decide what our community will leave for residents 50 years from now.
