You Can’t Chop Up Your Papa in Massachusetts: Murder, Lizzie Borden And The Press
By Karen Chaney, author of the book Lizzie Borden
“Lizzie Borden took an axe…” or so goes the popular rhyme that introduced most people to the Borden murders. A young woman wielding an axe against her parents has captured the public’s imagination, but was this image of Lizzie fair? Was the 32-year old spinster, a cold blooded murderess, or a victim of an overzealous press?
Find out in this first a series of lectures on the infamous Borden murders at the True Story of Lizzie Borden Museum, 203 Essex in Salem, MA.
$20 admission fee includes snacks and admission to the Museum.
Seating is limited and reservations are suggested. You can call 978-666-4416 for reservations or email [email protected]
