To-day we left Scotland and had a long R.R. ride to London. Passed through York, New Castle, etc. The East Coast seemed to be a fine, farming country.

In 1920, my Great-Great-Grandmother, Fannie Drummond, went on a trip to Europe with a group of women. Departing April 3rd and returning home on May 30th, they traveled throughout England, Scotland, Belgium, Switzerland, and France. Fannie kept a journal of this trip, and I thought it would be fun to post her entries in the form of a blog, with entries on the same dates only 90 years later. Enjoy!

A little background info on Fannie...
My Great-Great-Grandmother's full name was Frances Arabell Drummond (maiden name was Gregg). She was a member of The Women's Christian Temperance Union; the purpose of this trip, in addition to sightseeing, was to attend the World's Conference of the WCTU in London and to spread the word of the "evils" of alcohol. She was 56 years old at the time, a widow, and she lived in Oberlin, Ohio. In addition to her journal covering the nearly 2-month-long trip, I also have her passport and lots of postcards and souvenirs and will be posting scans of them occasionally.
