More About Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast:
The Borden home in Fall River, Massachusetts, has been a landmark since the murders of Andrew and Abby Borden on Aug. 4, 1892. Erected in 1845, the Greek Revival house was originally a two-family residence. Andrew Borden later converted it to a single-family dwelling.

Since the killings, the house has most often been a private residence. Today, it serves as a bed and breakfast and a museum. Tours are given daily.

When restoring the home, the owners tried to make it as close as possible to how the Borden home would have looked in August 1892.
