In 1892, Lizzie Borden was infamously tried for murdering her father and stepmother with a hatchet -- the worst thing associated with the Borden name right up until the '80s glam rock band.
The Borden family was quite affluent, so naturally, their swanky home in Fall River, Massachusetts has become a bed and breakfast. Specifically, the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast Museum. Yes, it's devoted to the murders. Among the bookable rooms are the one in which Mrs. Borden was butchered, as well as Lizzie's own bedroom, complete with romantic double bed. When you're not busy testing the absorbency limits of the linens, you can tastefully recreate the crime scene photo of Mr. Borden's body on the couch in the sitting room.
