Our family is visiting the area from Las Vegas and we are a bunch of true crime lovers so we just had to go to the Lizzie Borden house! The tour exceeded our expectations! Our tour guide, Sue, was so awesome! You could tell she truly enjoyed what she does! She had such a cool enthusiasm and all of the small details made the tour truly special! She gave a great narration and then let us tour the rooms after each section. We are definitely going to come again for the nighttime tour to hear all of her paranormal stories!! Definitely worth the visit! Hope they open Maplecroft by the next time we return! Thank you, Sue!!

The beautiful old home it is housed in is a real gem. Loved all the furnishings and paintings and learning the history of Fall River. The tour was most informative and our guide such a nice lady. The red dining room built in the round was quite interesting and was intrigued by the Lizzie Borden exhibit. Neat little gift shop with a friendly staff.

It is a large cemetery you can drive through with many beautiful and old gravestones. If you want to find Lizzie Borden’s grave you follow the white arrows painted on the road and they will take you right to the Borden family plot where she is buried along with her sisters and father and stepmother. A number of folks left coins on her stone and it is in a nice small hill. There are more Borden family plots in the cemetery so it’s easy to get confused but if you follow the arrow you can find the right place. The grounds are well kept and it is a beautiful place.

Home to five National Historic Landmarks and Official Veteran Memorials on both state and national levels, Battleship Cove has been providing the preservation of both the military heritage of the New England region and that of the United States since 1965.

Day visits, overnight camping experiences, and special events allow the public to immerse themselves in the exploration of the historic entities on exhibit and see for themselves the sacrifices made by both the military personnel who served on these amazing ships and aircraft and those who supported their constructio See battleship USS Massachusetts BB59, destroyer USS Joseph P.

Battleship Cove is a great destination for a day trip here in the Northeast. It have the USS Massachusetts battleship there as well as several other navy vessels including a WW 2 submarine and several world war two patrol craft. it is a wonderful place to go if you have an interest in military history, the battleship is open for self guided tours and they also will take groups for a group discount. I highly recommend this for anyone who likes military history

Had business in FR on Sunday so decided to walk the path from Bicentennial Park to Battleship Cove. Most of it is a nice boardwalk, part is just pavement. Right along the river. We started at Bicentennial park, where there are memorials to WWI, WWII, Korean War and Vietnam war, and along the river to Battleship Cove (just over a mile) and back to where we parked. Tons of potential in fenced off areas where they could really improve the area but it's nice as it stands
