Boston.com ran an online photo essay detailing a whole slew of what they called “Halloween Secret Spaces.” There are several dozen images offering details of many out of way and obscure scary places one can visit this Halloween season. Very kewl!
I bet you thought that they would include the Lizzie Borden B&B on that list? Well, you would be incorrect. Instead, their Lizzie Borden offering is the Pine Ridge Cemetery in Dedham, Massachusetts. That is where Lizzie buried her pets, Donald Stuart, Royal Nelson and Laddie Miller.
This is the same cemetery where Admiral Richard Byrd’s dog Igloo is also resting.
Buried in Lizzie Borden’s pet cemetery
See which family members Lizzie Borden buried! No, not her parents. Fall River’s famous acquitted child buried her three dogs at Pine Ridge Pet Cemetery in Dedham, with a tombstone that is an exact replica of her parents’ tombstone in Fall River. The pets’ tombstone inscription reads: “Sleeping Awhile.”
