After Maplecroft becoming a B and B Museum. What other houses to do with. The case do you think should be next on the list to become B and B Museums?

Well I don't think it's up to us as to which houses should become B & B's. :-) I guess it depends on which houses are up for sale and who has the money to buy them (restore if necessary) and to run them.

I mean the houses that Bordenites would want. Nothing to do with what's for sale this is what the public would want in a Fantasy Lizzie Land. If I could do so I would restore the Kelly house and Wades store. I wouldn't have far to go to work

I think Dr. Bowen's house would be a good B&B for Bordenites to see and visit.

Excellent, excellent. Now were is this "other" Bowen house?

I'm confused. I have no idea what are you asking here?

I also think the homes of Andrew Jennings and Hosea Knowlton would be interesting B&Bs for Bordenites to see and visit.

The bowen house by Lizzie's is no more. I thought there might be another bowen house. Could get rid of the courthouse and rebuild the Bowen house. I was thinking the same, as any houses that are still standing that had to do with the major characters in this story could be interesting to the public. Like the house Abby gave to her sister. Rev Buck and Rev Jubbs houses. The house uncle John was visiting cousins at. Alice russels house would be a big attraction, if it were still there.

I'm not sure how significant or successful the Kelly House would be as a B and B Museum, other than it was there on Aug 4 1892 and that Caroline Kelly was a witness in the case. Also that its still here, next to the Borden house, when so many other Structures that were there by the Borden House, on Aug 4 1892, are gone.

to me the Kelly house is more relevant to the story than any other still existing house in fall river. It's restoration would make the lizzie house look better by making the neighborhood look more like Aug 4rth 1892
