Discover the incredible story behind the World’s Largest Time Capsule in Seward, Nebraska: a concrete vault filled with memories and sealed underground for half a century. Now 50 years later, his daughter Trish honors her father’s vision by opening the time capsule and sharing a legacy that was decades in the making. From letters and photos to a yellow Chevy Vega, learn how one man’s dream preserved a town’s identity. Big Sounds, Little Town In the quiet town of Sutherland, Nebraska, where original music venues are few and far between, musician Rascal Martinez is building something extraordinary. After years of making a living through music, touring out of state, and performing for corporate and private events, Martinez took a bold step—he bought an empty bank building in his hometown and transformed it into Stolen Vault Records. More than just a recording studio, it's a hub for independent artistry, a new music venue, and a home for local and regional talent. As he continues crafting his own sound and inviting other musicians to share the stage, Martinez is turning a small-town dream into a movement, proving that great music doesn’t need a big city to thrive. Capitol Masterpiece A world-class structure made of Indiana limestone and designed by American architect Betram Goodhue, the Nebraska State Capitol building tells Nebraska's history through magnificent works of art in mosaics, murals, and carvings. Construction began in 1922 and took a decade to build, but Goodhue never saw the his work completed as he died in 1924. Today, this national historic landmark attracts over 100,000 visitors annually and the 400-foot tower, inspired by Goodhue's travels across our state, can be seen from 20 miles away.
