Swing by the Charlotte Museum of History on April 19 for a delightful chat with author Rebecca Sharpless, who'll be firing up a discussion about her book, Grain and Fire: A History of Baking in the American South. From 1 to 2 PM, you'll learn about the deliciously rich tapestry of Southern baking—the kind your grandma probably made when she wasn't busy trying to keep you out of trouble.

But that's not all, folks. We're also throwing in a live cooking demo in the charming historic log kitchen where you can witness some serious 18th-century baking skills in action. Think of it as a tasty time machine. Plus, if you're curious about life back in the day, you can take a guided tour of the 1774 Rock House at noon or 2 PM. It's a steal of a deal that even your taste buds will appreciate—no need to wear your best frock, just come ready to learn and munch.
