Residents in Humboldt take a look back in time.

 Officials from the Humboldt School District opened a 100 year old time capsule last night. Inside, they found a few pieces of history dating back to 1922. The time capsule had been rumored to exist for years, but it wasn't discovered until the cornerstone of the school was removed during renovation. Inside a small black box was and old newspaper, a coin, and a stamp. Stories about the capsule suggested it might contain a baseball signed by Walter Johnson, the legendary baseball pitcher born in Humboldt in 1887. Unfortunately, the baseball did not survive the years.

The school district plans to replace the box with a new time capsule to leave for future generations.
