SUMMARY:Koekje\, Cooky\, or Cookie? A History of American Christmas Cookies
DESCRIPTION:Why do the Brits call them biscuits and we call them cookies? The answer lies in the 17th century Dutch colony of New Netherland. But cookies have a peculiar history. Once the purview only of the wealthy\, their flavors\, shapes\, and textures have changed over time. Influenced by changing technologies\, household labor\, slavery\, social status\, agricultural innovations\, and immigration\, cookies have become the standard American Christmastime treat. But how did we get there? In this illustrated lecture\, food historian Sarah Wassberg Johnson discusses the history of cookies in America\, Christmas traditions through the ages\, and why we eat so many cookies during the holiday season. \nThis is a Zoom program\, and may be joined by clicking the link below\, on Thursday\, December 8th at 7pm: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86481557510 \n

SUMMARY:The Sewing Girl's Tale with John Wood Sweet
DESCRIPTION:Join the Stonington Historical Society and author John Wood Sweet for a discussion of “The Sewing Girl’s Tale\,” a work that the New York Times calls “Sweet’s excellent and absorbing work of social and cultural history.”  Sweet explores the first known criminal rape trial in America and the first known time a seduction suit was used for redress in New York after a rape trial\, and it worked; the jury awarded staggering punitive damages — 1\,800 pounds\, or $4\,500 —.  Truly relevant to our times\, this case was cited several times by Justice Alito in the recent overturn of Roe v. Wade. This program takes place at the Saltwater Farm Vineyard  349 Elm Street in Stonington. Wine will be available for purchase.  \n  \n  \n
