The 18th century wasn’t all colonizing and revolution. It was also a time for great writers. Come learn about some of these authors and hear excerpts from their best works. Make your own “stained glass” bookmark and enjoy some 18th Century Mad Libs.

18th Century Literature Thoroughgood House Focus Tours run from 5:30 to 7 p.m. this Thursday, July 9. Purchase tickets at https://culture.virginiabeach.gov/2156/2246 or at the door.
