Previously, we reported that the Fall River Historical Society had planned a brand new Lizzie Borden exhibit titled Bordenabelia! Well, it opens today! This is exciting because for the first time since the murders, the bedspread and pillow shams that were on the bed in the guest room where Abby Borden was hacked to death are on display, on a replica bed.
In addition, there is a large collection of never-before seen artifacts, most of which have been only recently obtained by the Society in their pursuit of information for their forthcoming book Parallel Lives: A Social History of Lizzie A. Borden and Her Fall River.
A feature article appears today in the Fall River Herald News.
