BOSTON — Whoever opens Boston’s time capsule in 2114 will find a David Ortiz bobblehead doll and a medal from the 2013 Boston Marathon.
The Bostonian Society says the figurine of the Red Sox slugger — and the medal from the city’s iconic footrace in the year terrorists targeted it — are among 26 items contained in the new capsule.
The copper box has been inserted into the head of a golden lion statue that has long stood guard over the Old State House. It replaces a 1901 capsule that was opened last month. Other items include an Apple iPhone 5 and a Legal Sea Foods menu, as well as letters, essays, photographs and newspapers.
The lion and a companion unicorn statue will be returned to their public perches on Sunday. The Bostonian Society said it hopes the capsule will be opened 100 years from now.
