Myth Busting Lizzie Borden: Facts on the Lie of an Enigmatic Woman

This program was presented at The Nashua Historical Society in Nashua, New Hampshire on September 7, 2019. Stefani Koorey, Ph.D. is a Borden expert and was the publisher and editor of The Hatchet: A Journal of Lizzie Borden and Victorian America. This talk examined the Borden mythology with special emphasis on the handless hatchet, presented at trial as a possible murder weapon, and manufactured by the Underhill Company in Nashua, New Hampshire. What exactly do we know about Lizzie A. Borden? And how has her particular story become more urban legend than authentic narrative? Stefani also discussed her most recent discoveries of the portraits of Andrew Borden and his first wife Sarah, as well as the image of Emma Borden as a young woman and Lizzie Borden when she was a child. They helped to renew interest in this fascinating unsolved mystery.
