Bicentennial Time Capsule: Don Robart Addresses Mayor of 2062
The Cuyahoga Falls Bicentennial time capsule is now buried at the Cuyahoga Falls and Silver Lake Police Memorial. When it's opened in 50 years, the city's future leaders will find a variety of items, including this letter from Mayor Don Robart.
Dear Future Mayor of Cuyahoga Falls, With the celebration of our city’s 200th anniversary underway, I reflect upon the time of our 175th anniversary, a mere 25 years ago. My, have we grown! In 1986, we successfully merged all of our services with Northampton Township, now Ward 8. Residents of both communities had a vision for a greater tomorrow and from that day on, this merger has allowed our City to grow by expanding our housing stock and providing additional industrial space for our businesses to grow and relocate. We were the first two communities to merge, thus making Ohio history. In the last 25 years, our city has experienced over a billion dollars of new development! From our top-ranked Water Works Aquatic Center, Brookledge Golf …

WATCH: Celebration Marches on With Bicentennial Parade
Light rain didn't deter organizations, businesses and residents from coming out Saturday morning for the much-anticipated Cuyahoga Falls Bicentennial parade.
People of all ages lined Portage Trail to watch the nearly two-hour long parade with more than 160 participants. A fine mist fell for much of the parade, but that didn't stop Cuyahoga Falls residents from coming out and enjoying the continuation of Bicentennial celebrations. To keep kids smiling and occupied, parade participants did their best to toss candy in the grass or hand deliver the sweets. Nolan Bolser and Miranda Brandenburg, both 5 and all smiles, had all their pockets stuffed with candy and their hands holding miniature beach balls. Cuyahoga Falls Officer Perry Chronister knows a few things about parades. He's worked four of them, including today, instead of marching in the Cuyahoga Falls alumni band. "I love seeing the …

Falls Bicentennial: Time Capsule Unearthed; Contents Unveiled to Public
Cuyahoga Falls Mayor Don Robart opened the sesquicentennial time capsule amid hundreds of people at Falls River Square Pavilion on Tuesday.
With a few swings of a gold-plated hammer, Mayor Don Robart unlocked a small piece of Cuyahoga Falls history. The capsule, buried in the summer of 1962, contained dilapidated newspapers from the day, an old phone book, a golf ball, wooden nickels, various booklets, a reel of microfilm that didn't survive the long stretch underground and a sesquicentennial proclamation by former Falls Mayor David L. Sanders. Some in the audience appeared underwhelmed by the contents, while others were excited to see and inspect what was unearthed. "I grew up in the Falls, and I'll tell you, when I saw (Mayor Robart) sift through the capsule, it brought me back to my childhood in this town," said Ed Stephens, 62, of Akron.
