The League City Community Center in League City, Texas used to serve as the League City School.
While renovations were being done on the building, a purse straight from the 1950s was found inside one of the walls. It was truly a blast from the past.
League City Historical Society Vice President Richard Lewis said in a video posted to Facebook, "The purse was full of what looked like a wallet and it turned out to be a diary. Picture it as today's Facebook: you're putting everything down. She wrote about her love life, who she broke up with."
The purse belonged to a woman named Beverly Williams, who attended the school in the '50s.
Officials say they were able to contact her family, and were able to speak to Williams' daughter.
Lewis told the Houston Chronicle, "She was blown away by what we said to her."
The historical society said it will reveal more details about the purse discovery at its Oct. 27 meeting.
