Geocache Description:




You can see a trailer for this cache here.

Lizzie Andrew Borden (July 19, 1860 – June 1, 1927) was an American woman who gained infamy after being tried and acquitted for the 1892 axe murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts. Following her release from prison, where she was held during the trial, Borden chose to remain a resident of Fall River, Massachusetts, despite facing ostracism. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts elected not to charge anyone else with the murder of Andrew and Abby Borden; speculation about the crimes still continues more than 100 years later.

This virtual cache will take you to a few of the most noteworthy places from Lizzie's life. You will start where the infamous murders took place. The listed coordinates will take you to the Borden family home. Your second stop will be at Maplecroft. After the trial, Lizzie moved into a large, modern house in the neighborhood called "The Hill" in Fall River. At the new house, which Lizzie named "Maplecroft", Lizzie began using the name Lizbeth A. Borden. Your final stop was also Lizzie's final stop, her grave in Oak Grove Cemetery.
