Do we know any details about the celebration thrown for Lizzie the evening after her aquittal? I've read there was one, and that the picture where she has the chair in front of her and shes eyeing the camera was likely around that time, but that's it.

I had read somewhere that she didn't return to the house on Second Street until a few days after her release. Her and Emma supposedly stayed with friends in (I want to say) Newport.

Thanks Kwest! I believe it was Newport, I was just curious for some fun details if anyone had them.

I did some research and although I didn't find any details regarding the actual celebration that was thrown for Lizzie after her acquittal, I did find an article that was written by our fellow forum member, Sherry Chapman. The article was published in August/September, 2004, Volume 1, Issue 4, of The Hatchet: Journal of Lizzie Borden Studies. Here is the link to the article: http://tinyurl.com/y9xz7ayk

Any thoughts on the article?
