The infamous Borden house in Fall River Massachusetts has been placed on the housing market! The historical site and Bed and Breakfast could be yours for a head-splitting (pun intended) two million dollars to own and operate according to the macabre realtor listing. The house was the site of the infamous Borden Ax Murders that gripped headlines at the time as the prime suspect of the murders was a woman named Lizzie. Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her father, Andrew, and Stepmother, Abby, with a hatchet on the morning of August 4th, 1892. Lizzie was accused of the murders as she could stand to inherit Andrews’s fortune and did not get along well with both Andrew and the Stepmother.

The Borden Ax Murders is still considered unsolved but theories of what really

True Story

Lizzie Borden Took an Axe…Well, We’re Pretty Sure She Did

Lizzie Borden took an axe And gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty-one. Although inaccurate, this modern-ish nursery rhyme tells the story of a woman who was found innocent of murdering her father and step-mother, but is heavily and strongly beloved to be guilty. Her life was never the same after the trials (aside from the obvious omission of parents) and she was ostracized by everyone around her. The story honestly reminds me a bit of O.J. Simpson…a vicious, violent double murderer found innocent, but clearly guilty in the eyes of the public. Lizzie Andrew Borden was born in Fall River, Massachusetts, U.S.A. August 4, 1860. She was close to her older sister, Emma. Her mother died when Lizzy was three years old, and she resented Abby Durfee Gray whom her father married after her mother’s death. In fact, she would only refer to this her step-mother as Ms. Borden
