NEW BEDFORD, Mass., (WPRI) - The infamous story of Lizzie Borden lives on.
A New Bedford business is now displaying dozens of pieces of art pertaining to the teen who was acquitted in the murders of her parents more than one hundred years ago.
It's called Lizzie Borden: A tale of two cities. It opened on Wednesday at gallery "X" for the first time this Halloween season. It features more than 70 pieces of artwork related to the murder scene back in 1892.
The items displayed at the exhibit on William Street include paintings, pictures, a window, a hatchet and a blood stained doll. Lizzie's mother and father were killed in the home both attacked with an ax. Though many think Lizzie committed the crime, she was acquitted during her trial.
‘A tale of two cities,’ makes the connection between the murder site and where Lizzie stood trial in New Bedford.
Gallery hours:
Wednesday - Friday, 11 a.m. To 5 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. To 3 p.m.
The exhibit will run until Nov 15th. Click here for more information.
