Historians and restorers opened the small copper box that has been hidden for more than a century inside the statue which has been sitting atop Boston's Old State House until it was taken down for refurbishing. Discovered inside the box were a hardcover book, along with papers from 1901, when the time capsule was sealed. Nothing was taken out of the box because of the items' fragile condition.
