Dublin History Group’s contribution to the South Australian History Festival
Presented by the Dublin History Group Inc.
This year, we celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Dublin’s naming through a unique three-part journey that connects our past residents with the future of our township.

Part 1:
The Unearthing (April 13, 2026)
The journey began at Lions Park. After 25 years underground, the 2001 Time Capsule was successfully recovered to mark our 150th milestone celebrations.

Part 2:
The Exhibition (May 17, 2026)
2001 – 2026 – 2051
Location: Dublin Institute
Time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM

Come and see what life looked like at the turn of the millennium! We will be displaying the original contents of the 2001 capsule.

Part 3: The Legacy (June 14, 2026)
Location: Dublin Lions Park
Time: 1:00 PM

The cycle continues as we return the new time capsule to the earth. We invite everyone to witness this "relay to the future," where our shared stories will be preserved for those who will call Dublin home in 2051
