[UPDATE]: You check out our photos from the opening of Boston’s time capsule from 1901 right here.

In the small, suburban city of Woburn, Mass., some 25 minutes north of Boston, local history will be made. On Thursday, Oct. 9, the Bostonian Society will finally crack open the 113-year old time capsule lodged in the head of the lion statue that typically sits perched atop the Old State House in downtown Boston.

The statue, paired with its unicorn counterpart, was hoisted from the city’s oldest, continuously used public building as part of a renovation project. It was subsequently decided that whatever goodies are still being kept from the public ought to finally see daylight.

Heather Leet, director for development with the Bostonian Society, told BostInno in an email that the time capsule wasn’t confirmed to exist until late in September when it was brought to Skylight Studios in Woburn. Artist Bob Shure, who’s overseeing the upkeep of both statues, used a fiber optic camera to determine the existence of the time capsule, which is contained in a copper case embedded within the lion’s head.

“We will remove the Lion’s crown and remove the box from the head,” explained Leet to BostInno previously. “We know that the box is secured by a couple of bars to the the inside of the head, Bob Shure believes it will be easy to cut those and retrieve the box.”

We’ve already speculated, and in the weirdest possible fashion, as to what Bostonians of 1901 found significant enough to keep locked up for posterity to enjoy. So needless to say, we’ve been waiting for this day to come for over a month.

The time capsule will be officially opened at 11 a.m. Thursday morning. Stay tuned to BostInno for the latest updates on what’s inside. In the meantime, feel free to spin your wheels in the comments section and let us know what you’re hoping to see.
