During culvert repairs along Fitch Boulevard in Austintown, crews made a unique find.

Retired Austintown teacher Peggy Bennett and her science class placed a time capsule under a willow tree there 27 years ago.

Fitch Boulevard is right next to the former site of the original Austintown Middle School.

While crews had to remove the tree for culvert repairs, they were happy to find the capsule for Bennett and her former students.

There were a number of notes, records and cards within the capsule.
