Alice Russell’s House to be Demolished Soon
The ongoing fight to save the eight homes that abut Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River is soon to cease—-lost to the powers that be that decided that a flat top parking lot was a better choice than building a parking deck on their established parking area. One of the eight homes has some historical […]
Green Street Update
Things are happening quickly at 132 Green Street in Fairhaven, MA, the former home of the Brownell’s where Emma Borden was visiting on that fateful day in 1892. Today the vinyl siding is nearly complete. In addition, note the plastic corner boards and window frames. The eaves are also made of plastic. While the house […]
Borden Farmhouse
Last summer as I was driving by the Borden farmhouse in Swansea, I noticed that the front door was open and a work van was parked in the yard. This is the farm that Andrew Borden once owned with his partner Almy, and the families shared the house for some time. Andrew eventually bought out […]

Lizzie Borden Channelled
A blogger named Creepy Hallows claims to have channelled Lizzie Borden, after much effort. This is not a spoof site or does the writer present themselves as anything other than serious. This is an interesting read and worth looking at. While I do not subscribe to the idea that they did, in fact, contact Lizzie, […]
