A new talk on Lizzie Borden has been scheduled for October 29 in Salem at The True Story of Lizzie Borden Museum.
Titled “Lizzie Borden: Heroine to Halloween Horror,” the multi-media presentation will begin at 8PM.
Even though Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the double murder of her father and step-mother, her celebrity has permutated from being the innocent victim of police incompetence to a national figure of Halloween horror. How did this happen? And in what ways has Lizzie Borden the hatchet-wielding murderess become ingrained in our collective memory?
Presented by Stefani Koorey, Ph.D., Editor/Publisher
