Betsy Bailey
Betsy Bailey, our very own firecracker (born on the 4th of July!), has been hooked on history and nostalgia since she first picked up the Little House books (and obsessively watched the TV show) as a child of the 1970s. Her double celebration of the bicentennial and her birthday at age 8 sealed her fascination with all things vintage Americana — from old houses and antiques to biographies, historical fiction and classic movies. 🤓
An internet trailblazer, Betsy has been partnered with Nancy on content creation ever since they launched Myria.com in 1998, covering motherhood topics — and later co-founded SheKnows.com, a go-to site for women. Her knack for weaving stories and building communities makes her a perfect fit here at Click Americana, where she brings the past to life with a dash of fun and a whole lot of heart.
