Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast

South Shore


This lovely Greek Revival home happens to be the place where Lizzie Borden's parents were brutally murdered. Decked out with period furnishings and decor, the six rooms are named for the family members that actually stayed there. It’s artfully and accurately remodeled, which makes it all the creepier.

Your stay includes a comprehensive tour, where you will learn everything you ever wanted to know about the Lizzie Borden case.
