Patriotic Bostonians are commemorating the Tea Party's 250th anniversary by infusing tea leaves into the city's harbor and community meetings. The event began at 4 p.m. and would continue until 8 p.m., as the East India Company supplies tea for the reenactment. Viewers are being encouraged to participate in the dumping by yelling 'Huzzah!'as the actors dramatically destroy pounds of tea

The box (top left) is believed to date back to 1726 and was discovered during renovations at the Church of St. Stanislaus in the small town of Wschowa, western Poland. The capsule's age has yet to be announced, but if it really is from 1726, it would make the find older than the current record holder from Boston, Massachusetts. The town's museum called it a "unique find" and posted on social media: "In Wschowa, the world's oldest time capsule was discovered.' The oldest capsule is made of a box made of copper sheet with the date 1726 stamped on its lid. The time capsule, which contained four packets from 1726, 1786, 1884, and 1914, was extracted from the sphere at the top of the cathedral's tower (bottom center).' Museum conservators discovered Latin documents (bottom right), coins (top right), and old German newspapers (bottom left) inside the new capsule.
