南达科他州埋下时间胶囊：2076年美国建国三百周年时开启
2026年11月2日是南达科他州建州137周年纪念日。美国建国250周年南达科他州委员会当天在明尼哈哈县苏福尔斯市的南达科他号战列舰纪念园埋下一只时间胶囊，定于2076年美国建国三百周年时开启，这是该州建国250周年系列活动的收官活动之一。
州历史学家、委员会主席 Ben Jones 未能到场，他在声明中表示，这次活动“更多关乎未来，而非过去”。胶囊内物品由委员会下设小组挑选，包括 Joseph Bottum 为建国250周年所著的《This Far Country》一书、市长 Christine Erickson 的证书、州长 Larry Rhoden 的信件以及挑战币、旗帜等纪念品。苏福尔斯市长 Erickson、副州长 Tony Venhuizen 等当地人士出席并共同埋藏，加菲尔德小学五年级学生在活动开始时演唱了美国国歌。
委员会委员、前州议员 Tyler Tordsen 提到，他今年5月曾见证1976年埋于马克·吐温小学的一只时间胶囊被开启，并于同日埋下新胶囊，同样定于2076年开启。

South Dakota Buries a Time Capsule to Be Opened at the Nation's Tricentennial in 2076
November 2, 2026, was South Dakota's 137th birthday. That day the America 250 South Dakota Commission buried a time capsule at the Battleship South Dakota Memorial in Sioux Falls, Minnehaha County, to be opened at the nation's tricentennial in 2076, in one of the final events of the state's semiquincentennial celebration.
State historian and commission chairman Ben Jones could not attend but said in a statement that the event was 'more about the future than the past.' Items chosen by a commission subgroup include Joseph Bottum's book 'This Far Country,' a certificate from Mayor Christine Erickson, letters from Governor Larry Rhoden, challenge coins and flags. Mayor Erickson, Lt. Gov. Tony Venhuizen and other local dignitaries took part in the burial, and fifth graders from Garfield Elementary School sang the national anthem at the start.
Commissioner and former state lawmaker Tyler Tordsen noted that in May he witnessed the unearthing of a 1976 time capsule at Mark Twain Elementary School and the burial of a new one the same day, also to be opened in 2076.
