On this date in 1892:
Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father forty-one.
Of course Lizzie was acquitted of the murders. So technically, the case remains unsolved. You can read all about it at truTV’s CrimeLibrary.
You can sleep in Lizzie’s old bedroom at the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast, where live re-enactments are performed for guests. There’s also a gift shop where you can buy Lizzie Borden memorabilia, like the Lizzie Borden Axe Cookie Cutter. Sounds like a nice spot for a romantic weekend getaway.
Nobody Move!

“Romantic getaway”…LOL
I still maintain this was the very FIRST instance of “Don’t AXE, don’t tell”…
🙂
Good call…roll safe out there.

Ha! Definitely a don’t tell. You know the old saying, “If you want to keep a secret, don’t tell anybody.”
