Event Details

Was Lizzie Borden guilty of first-degree murder or not? You’ll have a chance to hear the evidence for yourself in the famous 1892 case of a woman accused of murdering her father and her stepmother with a hatchet. Examine the diagrams, learn the timeline, and hear the evidence. Then, decide for yourself. Do you think the original jury delivered a just and fair verdict?

This program is presented in partnership with Ashland Chautauqua.
