Sarah Jencks (History Co-Lab, A non-profit company) will discuss traveling in the 1820s. While we may just hop in a plane or take our cars for travel, in the 1820s traveling around for pleasure was much more difficult. It could involve steam ships, canal boats, or a stage coach and in the case of Ellin Curson it entailed all three. Ellin left behind a diary that traces her 6 week trip from Baltimore to New York which reveals what it was like to be a young woman on a trip at this time.
You can read a transcription of the diary and also find links to a map and the travel guide used on the trip here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XU_PhqsCkL-91reSQ950RL-vEUYUaWn7B1v9HnCGhuQ/edit?invite=COa3lJIK
