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 October: The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
In this Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, Newland Archer finds himself torn between convention and passion in New York’s high society. A story of quiet rebellion and societal pressure, it’s a masterful portrait of love, loss, and appearances.

• Guided book conversation hosted by Craig Golbesky, creator of the hit Agatha Christie & Whiskey series
