About Lizzie Borden House

This is the house at 230 Second Street where Andrew and Abby Borden were killed on August 4, 1892. Lizzie Borden was tried and acquitted in 1893, and no one else was ever charged. The house has run as a bed and breakfast since 1996 and is open every day. The 90-minute House Tour runs daily and is the only tour that goes through every room. In the evening you can take the one-hour Nightfall Tour, join a ghost hunt on the first floor and in the basement, or walk the nightly outdoor ghost tour that starts at the gift shop. Daily guided tours of Oak Grove Cemetery visit the Borden graves. Overnight guests choose from two suites and four rooms, and breakfast is $20 per person extra.
