Take a trip to the Boston Harbor Islands … in the 19th Century. In July 1891, four intrepid women from Lowell, Massachusetts, set off for Great Brewster Island in Boston Harbor for an adventure they would remember all their lives. Calling themselves “the Merrie Trippers,” the women created a journal of their 17-day sojourn with entries, illustrations and photographs – like a 19th Century Facebook page. But they did not include their names. Volunteers from the Friends of the Boston Harbor Islands, led by author Stephanie Schorow, did a deep dive into the mysteries of the journal, now at the Schlesinger Library of Harvard.
