Whiskey, History & The Gilded Page
Step into the drama, decadence, and dazzling contradictions of America’s Gilded Age—whiskey glass in hand.
The Gilded Page Book Club is more than a discussion—it’s a three-part literary experience set inside the historic Barker Mansion. Each month, we pair a captivating Gilded Age novel with rare Barker family artifacts—items not normally seen by the public—making the fiction feel thrillingly real.
This November: Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow
Fact and fiction collide in this sweeping tale that blends real historical figures with a fictional family’s journey through early 20th-century America. Themes of race, class, and change run through this dynamic and powerful novel.
Why You’ll Love This Evening
• Premium whiskey tasting from Journeyman Distillery
• Guided book conversation hosted by Craig Golbesky, creator of the hit Agatha Christie & Whiskey series
• Self-guided mansion tour after the discussion
