Christmas in Fall River

Christmas in Fall River
There’s more to the Fall River Historical Society than its big Lizzie Borden exhibit. The 1843 granite Greek Revival mansion that houses the society is decorated for the holiday and is hosting a Victorian Holiday Open House complete with music and other festivities today from 1 to 5 p.m. and tomorrow from 9 a.m. to noon. The Historical Society is at 451 Rock St., Fall River, and admission is $6, $4 for children 6 to14, children 5 and younger free. Call (508) 679-1071

FYI: the FRHS has taken down the Lizzie Borden exhibit for the holiday season and it won’t be back on display until April. So don’t expect to view any LB artifacts among the pretty decorations there!

FYI 2: The FRHS will be totally closed for the first time in many years for the months of January, February, and March. No gift shop, no research, no open houses, no tea room. They plan to put the time to great use in organizing the collections and finishing a few projects started in recent months. Seems the Historical Society used to keep this schedule in the past, and are returning to it out of necessity of accomplishing its many goals.

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now. Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
