Lizzie Borden House

Lizzie Borden House is a sightseeing stop in Fall River, MA, part of the Cape Cod guide. Cost: $25 to $50.

230 Second St · Fall River, MA

Why you should go…

This is the 230 Second Street home where Andrew and Abby Borden were killed in 1892, a case that ended in Lizzie Borden's acquittal and was never solved. Since 1996 it has run as a bed and breakfast and museum. A daytime house tour of about 90 minutes walks every room and covers the family, the case and the trial, while evenings bring ghost tours and ghost hunts in the basement.
