Lizzie Borden Murder House

Fall River,   Massachusetts  

On an August morning in 1892, respectable citizens Andrew and Abby Borden were murdered in their Fall River home. Abby was found face down on the floor next to a bed; Andrew was found sprawled across the sitting room couch. Their skulls had been smashed in. A hatchet was found in the cellar, and suspicion fell on their 32-year-old daughter Lizzie, who also lived in the house. But Lizzie was tried and acquitted of the crime, and when she moved out of the house it remained pretty much just a house for another hundred years.

And then it was turned into a bed and breakfast.
