A fence is all that remains of Dadeville's Creation Plantation playground after it was razed due to rot.

Nearly a dozen Dadeville citizens recall burying a time capsule beneath the "Creation Plantation," but no one remembers where.
Dadeville city councilwoman Brownie Caldwell said the situation was recently brought to her attention as the council prepares to replace the Creation Plantation with new playground equipment. According to Caldwell, a time capsule was buried there when the playground was constructed in 2000 — an event ranked first in The Dadeville Record's Dec. 28, 2000 "Top 10 Most Newsworthy Stories in the Past Year" — but the location was not marked.
