This time capsule was placed to observe the centennial of Childress County's establishment, which is odd, given that Childress County was established in 1876 and then organized in 1887 after a squabble over where the county seat should be, resulting in the demise of the original Childress and the reassignment of that name to Henry, TX. The time capsule can be found, hiding in the grass behind at Texas Sesquicentennial marker at the south end of the building, and it reads:
Childress County
Centennial
Time Capsule
Sealed July 21, 1989
Re-Open Jan. 1, 2088
