Happy Birthday Liberty Hill

Liberty Hill celebrated its 25th anniversary by burying a time capsule at Central Park filled with mementos ranging from historic photos and town drawings from the 70s to handwritten letters from the Parks & Recreation Board describing their love for the city's parks.

Interim Mayor Crystal Mancilla thanked ceremony guests, saying, “I know all of you have played a huge role in not just the history of this town but also the future and where we’re going.” She read a letter from Governor Greg Abbott, who called Liberty Hill “a city blessed with a rich past and prosperous present that has played a significant role in the larger story of Texas and her people, but I know that its best days are yet to come.”

The time capsule is set to be opened in 2040 when the current comprehensive plan ends and marks the start of a new era for Liberty Hill. As the time capsule was being lowered into the ground, kids surrounded the hole, eager to take turns shoveling dirt over the box and prompting Director of Community Engagement and Communications Katie Amsler to say, “Maybe these little ones are going to dig it up!”
