Lizzie in the Autumn

As the leaves begin to turn in September, thoughts begin to turn towards Lizzie Borden again. After a brief respite from the August Lizzie fever, cooler temps and the approach of Halloween always seem to inspire revivals of Borden-centered plays around the country.

Paranormal groups and television production companies are drawn to the house on Second Street to capture that something extra which flavors the very atmosphere this time of year.  The house is busy with overnight guests and day tours and thoughts are turning to Halloween night, which is a sell-out every October 31st.
