Did Lizzie Borden Do It?
August 4, 1892. A wealthy businessman and his wife are found brutally murdered in their Victorian home in Fall River, Massachusetts. The Accused: the youngest daughter, Lizzie. The Verdict: Not Guilty!

So goes the lore of the most famous crime in the annals of American history. The mystery remains: If Lizzie Borden did not wield the murder weapon, who did?

Our beautifully restored Greek-revival home is now a first-class bed & breakfast. You are invited to choose one of 6 beautifully appointed bedrooms and roam the house to learn the true facts about Lizzie Borden and the murders of 1892. What were the thoughts of the first police officers on the scene? Who were the suspects? What was the public’s reaction? Will you join the legions who think Lizzie guilty, or will you choose to be a stalwart defender?

In the morning we invite you to enjoy a hot breakfast reminiscent of the food the Borden’s ate on that fateful Thursday in 1892.

For a unique experience, be our guest for an evening …Lizzie Borden awaits you. One day I'll meet u Lizzie(AS A GHOST) lol

No, I've never been there. The movie with Elizabeth Montgomery was very creepy, but very interesting. :eek:

I hope one day I get a chance to visit the Lizzie Borden bed and breakfast house. It would be very interesting to experience spending a few days there and hearing about the history of the place and what happened there so long ago.

I wonder if it's haunted? I've never even heard of it before.

I am so out of the loop. Until I have never heard of this chain of places ( I have heard of the case).

Her father and his wife were so rich but so cheap. He didn't deserve to die of course, just commenting. Word is that it drove Lizzie crazy. I think she and her sister inherited their money.

They did - and the first thing the Borden sisters bought with their inheritance money was a large mansion in the fashionable part of town, complete with electricity and indoor bathrooms, etc. Ironically, Lizzie and Emma died within 9 days of each other in 1927 - Lizzie from complications from gall bladder surgery, and Emma in a fall at her home. By that time, the sisters were estranged for over 20 years after a major argument.

That's pretty interesting I wonder if they cover that part of their lives in the tour. I wouldn't mind visiting but, I wouldn't want to stay there.

They went there on Ghosthunters, a really interesting place to see.

I'd like to stay there sometime, but I don't think it's my wife's idea of a romantic getaway.
