Fall River Historical Society

Fodor's Review:

The best place to learn about the Borden case is the Fall River Historical Society, which is packed with Borden memorabilia, including courtroom evidence, photographs, and the handleless hatchet believed to be the murder weapon. The 1843 Greek-revival mansion also contains exhibits on the Fall River steamship line and the city's days as the world's largest cotton-cloth manufacturer. One-hour tours begin on the hour.

  • Cost: Tours $5
  • Open: Apr., May, Oct., and Nov., Tues.-Fri. 9-4:30; June-Sept. and Dec., Tues.-Fri. 9-4:30, weekends 1-5
