Welcome to the site of one of America’s most famous historical mysteries, which took place on August 4, 1892. Today, the meticulously restored Lizzie Borden House stands as a remarkable time capsule of late Gilded Age America, offering invaluable insights into 19th-century class dynamics, the evolution of the criminal justice system, the complex landscape of women’s rights, and of course, a place known for its unexplained haunting activity that’s earned a reputation as America’s Most Haunted House alongside its history. No matter your reason for exploring the Borden story, we welcome you.
Open daily from 10:00 AM to midnight as a welcoming inn and museum, the estate features a variety of daytime and evening experiences. Our historic House Tours are designed to captivate everyone, from the curious traveler and casual true crime fan to dedicated historians and legal scholars. Daily cemetery tours take you to pay your respects to the resting places of the Bordens, and tell stories of others in the cemetery, from war heroes to early baseball greats.
Throughout the year, we also host engaging events, including historical reenactments, period dining, tin type photography with period clothing, and captivating storytelling.
