Time capsule found in lion head at Boston's Old State House

From USA TODAY Time capsule found in lion head at Boston's Old State House What treasures could be inside? The Bostonian Society, which operates a museum at the Old State House, said sometime next week it hopes to open a time capsule from 1901 placed in the head of a copper statue of a lion that has stood atop the building. It's planning to replace what's inside the capsule with something new. The society confirmed this week the long-standing rumor that there was a time capsule inside the iconic lion. The lion and a unicorn have been perched above Washington Street in Boston for more than a hundred years. The lion was recently taken down from the rooftop for maintenance. Sculptor Robert Shure of Skylight Studios, who is in charge of restoring the statues, found the time capsule Monday, according to Heather Leet, spokeswoman for the society, the Boston Globe reports. http://usat.ly/1stkOAY Get USA TODAY on your mobile device: http://www.usatoday.com/mobile-apps
