Memorabilia from the 2010 Commemoration of the Great Fire of 1910 are being packed away inside a time capsule to be opened a hundred years from now. On Saturday, August 20th, that time capsule will be placed and sealed inside a hollowed area of granite inside the Firefighter's Memorial at the Wallace Visitor's Center.
