Huge Success for Ken Champlin and the Fall River History Club

The Fall River History Club’s guest speaker tonight was Fall River historian Ken Champlin. He gave a totally fascinating talk on his recent discoveries on the Fisk family and the underground railroad in the city.

We had our largest audience to date: 50 folks, who came out to the library in a snowstorm to hear Ken speak. A lively discussion followed the talk and many people stayed around afterwards to chat and discuss their interests.

Thank you Ken for the most informative and enlightening talk!

Next month, on the 18th of March, we will hear George Peltier discuss the history of the trolly in Fall River. I can’t wait!

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.
