Description

“Lizzie Borden took an axe gave her mother 40 wacks, when she saw what she had done, she gave her father 41”. This is a well-known - I don't know if you call nursery rhyme but a well-known rhyme that we’ve heard for well over 100 years now. But a lot of people don’t know the real story. This is the infamous Lizzie Borden House at 230 Second Street, Fall River, MA.
