Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - The time capsule that was recently discovered under the statue of the Mayo brothers that was located in front of the Mayo Civic Center will be opened next week.

Rochester Mayor Ardell Brede has decided to see what is inside the container next Wednesday (Aug 5 ) in front of the Chateau Theater.

August 5th will also mark Rochester’s 157th birthday, the date the city was incorporated.

The event will take place at noon and the public is invited.

The capsule was placed under the statue in 1986 during a major expansion project at the civic center site. It was discovered when the statue was being relocated due to the new expansion and renovation project.
