In this episode of Your History Your Story, we are pleased to welcome back author, librarian and research historian Becky Diamond.
Becky will take us back to America’s Golden Era as we discuss her new book, The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook: Cookies and Treats from America’s Golden Era, 1868–1900.
We’ll be talking about the delicious world of holiday sweets while exploring the stories behind the rich traditions celebrated and the treats enjoyed across the country during the late 19th century. Join us as we discover the vibrant blend of culture, history and festive flavors that helped shape Christmas in the Gilded Age.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
