It is said that she visited Europe after 1892 - I don't know how many times - or exactly where she went.  Wasn't Maplecroft selling a book of hers on eBay that was on Germany? 
We know Emma visited Scotland after 1892 from the postcard she sent her friend.

Oh yea, you just reminded me;

Tyngsboro
I would think Kash woulda reminded me of THAT. YEA!

Lizzie's first trip was to London, Scotland, Paris, Rome. (Rebello, 11).

If we have a source for a later trip we can include it.

Oh, also maybe Worcester, to visit that "Stockwell" woman, according to Rebello, 306.  I think Harry brought her up, earlier.

I seem to remember a little time she spent in Taunton. Not necessarily by choice however.

HAHAHAHA
I wondered if that counted.
I guess it DOES!
Thanks for the inclusion to the list!

Well actually she DID a little time in Taunton. Maybe just being in one building doesn't count.

Her dogs were buried up in Dedham, Mass. so I assume she made at least one trip there.

I think for our purposes, anywhere she traveled, counts.

Good one on the dog cemetary!
So we add Dedham.
Do you recall where she Got her bulldogs?  What city?  (That guy in Rebello mentions it)

The point of this is :
-In comparison to Emma-
-Compare to Legends that Lizzie hid out or "Laid Low', or was a recluse...or had no satisfying life...

...And I think we may be beginning to realize that she went anywhere & everywhere she pleased.
She's pretty well-traveled after all...

Boy, she did get around!  And all this before the advent of air travel!  It must have taken forever to get to places at the time.
