Step back in time and take a seat at a historic school desk inside the Beech Grove Schoolhouse at the Hardin County Heritage Center, located next to the Hardin County Fairgrounds. There, you’ll have the opportunity to write a handwritten letter to future generations—one that will become part of Hardin County’s America 250 Time Capsule.

Whether you’ve called Hardin County home your entire life or are simply visiting for this unique experience, your words will help preserve the voices, memories, and perspectives of our community in 2026 for those who will open the time capsule decades from now.

Join us to take part in this once-in-a-generation opportunity as we have all of our Heritage Center doors open across the grounds.
