Queen Elizabeth comes to the Village Library Monday August 20

Join us at the Village Library of Wrightstown as we welcome her majesty Elizabeth the first- the greatest monarch England had ever seen. The Elizabethan age brought prosperity, advances in many fields and relative peace for England at a time of great political and religious upheaval. Elizabeth Tudor reigned from 1558 until her death in 1603 and her reign was considered England’s golden age. The queen will be visiting us as part of her royal progress to our shire. Be part of the fun at the 19th Village Renaissance Faire Renaissance Faire !
