Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast: A Return to the Scene of the Crime

Lizzie's father's death site

March 4, 2025 — Seventeen years ago, I stayed the night at the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast, a crime scene turned morbid historical attraction. It was a Year One OTIS oddity, and I wrote a two-part article on my stay

A few weekends ago, I returned to the scene of that crime. Much has changed in those almost two decades, but mostly with me, not the house. For instance, this time, instead of writing a two-part post about my experience, I recorded a podcast episode. Check it out here. But here are the pics.

And don't forget to see the picks from Miss Lizzie's Coffee, a themed coffeehouse next door that is also the scene of its own grisly Borden murder.
