A portal to the past was opened in the ceiling of a kitchen that was filled with treasures just waiting to be discovered. Jesse Leitch, a land surveyor and data processor in Grand Rapids, Michigan, found a time capsule while his contractors were installing new pipes in his home, Leitch told Fox News Digital. An assortment of 12 items dating back to the early 1900s were found tucked away in the kitchen ceiling of the home.
One of the most personal items — and Leitch's favorite — was a handwritten note between 'Gertrude' and 'Ruth.' 'It just kind of seems like it's a note from probably a teenager to another teenager. And it just references all first names except for … one first and last name, which we were able to reference to a possible grave in this town,' Leitch added.
The Heritage Hill homeowner grew up in Grand Rapids. He said his own father spent most of his life in the town and has 'always been connected to this place.' Leitch said he's found a new 'connection to the past' after discovering these little treasures — and has become inspired to make something of his own.
And maybe leave some of our own stuff. I've made some music that we put onto vinyl records. And I think that a good way to preserve music for that for the future.' Leitch said he plans on displaying a few of the discovered items in his home. He also intends to reach out to the Grand Rapids Public Museum to see if it would be interested in taking any of the 100-year-old items.
