The Historic Lizzie Borden House
Welcome to the location of America’s greatest unsolved murder mystery, which took place on August 4, 1892. The Lizzie Borden house means many things to many people, from a historic gem to the most haunted house in the United States. Today, the property remains open daily from 10am to midnight, operating as an inn with breakfast as well as a museum featuring a variety of tours and experiences throughout the day and evening including historic House Tours, Ghost Tours, and Ghost Hunts. Each experience is uniquely special and appeals to the historian, true crime fanatic, and ghost hunter in all of us! The Lizzie Borden House regularly hosts special and uniquely fantastical events that are not to be missed including reenactments, photo ops, and haunted story times.
The Historic Lizzie Borden House isn’t just your average museum! While we tell an accurate story based in the truth as we know it, we wholeheartedly embrace the macabre and provide a home for those seeking answers to the unexplained phenomena unique to this historically haunted location. Guests from nearly every country on the planet visit this historic landmark every year to partake in an experience unlike anything else.
