There is much to do in and around Fall River this August 4th, the 130th anniversary of the murders of Andrew and Abby Borden.<\/p>\n

It is difficult to tell from the Herald News<\/a> article, however, just what is planned for the Lizzie Borden B&B. Even four days out, the new owners are cryptic as hell about what will take place. One would assume they have something<\/em> in mind.<\/p>\n

Says the Herald News<\/em>: “They will mark the 130th anniversary of the Borden killings with crime scene re-enactments, refreshments, and giveaways. They\u2019ll also be offering the house tour. ‘We will have actors portraying different pertinent figures in the story as part of the regular house tours. Guests will be able to interact with them briefly and hear their side of the story. Each tour will be slightly different and unique for our guests,’ said Lizzie Borden House general manager Jared Robinson.” Nothing clearly stated, no drama, and no story detailed. Unfortunate.<\/p>\n

The Fall River Historical Society, finally open after a long COVID shutdown, is again offering tours of the Lizzie Borden collection, the largest in the world relating to the case and the Borden family. Here is their flier:<\/p>\n

\"Fall<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition, from 10 AM to 2 PM, you can get the newest Lizzie Borden book signed by its author, William D. Spencer. The book is titled Lizzie Borden Uncut: A Casebook of Theories<\/strong><\/em> and offers background info, snyopses, and critiques of all the major Borden books and essays. A valuable addition to any Borden library.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THEN, there are the library talks!<\/p>\n

\"Bill<\/p>\n

Bill Spencer will be appearing at the Fall River Public Library on Wednesday evening from 6 to 7:30 to talk about his new book and the Borden case.<\/p>\n

\"Author<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And will also appear on Thursday after his book signing at the FRHS at the Somerset Public Library at 3 PM!<\/p>\n
