Life at an Edwardian Manor, December 3, 2013, at 6:30pm

The popular TV series, 'Downton Abbey', has renewed an interest in the Edwardian Era.  Wealthy aristocrats owned huge manor houses, and reveled in extravagancies.  It was also a time of great disparity between the haves and the have-nots.  As a reaction to the Victorian Era, the Golden Age was followed by a time of greater social mobility.  Join us as historian Judith Krall-Russo will will enlighten us about this fascinating time and the people who lived in it.  Though you don't have to be a Downton Abbey fan to enjoy this program, devoted fans may take more notice of certain details in the show after attending.  Light refreshments will be served.

Registration for this program is required, and there is no cost to attend. To register, stop by or call the Adult Services Desk at 908-369-2200 ext 13. Registration can also be done using the online library calendar.
