Built in 1845, the house famously became the setting for the 1892 ax murders of Abby and Andrew Borden, allegedly by their very own daughter, Lizzie! The house has since been restored with late-19th-century period pieces, which contribute to the atmosphere, especially as you can stand today in the place where Lizzie's stepmother received 18 blows to the head—and the one where her father endured a slightly less brutal 11! While circumstantial evidence tied Lizzie to the crime, she was ultimately acquitted, and the case was never solved. Aside from the eerie happenings reported on the premises to pique your interest, there's small on-site museum showcasing memorabilia related to the crime and a gift shop where you can pick up silver-toned hatchet earrings for yourself or that special somebody.
