Lizzie Borden and Jesse James are popular names with tourists.
Yesterday’s crime scenes are hot items this summer for travelers looking for something “different.”
One of these is the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast in Fall River, Mass, where the ax murderer gave her mother “forty whacks,” and when done, gave her “father forty one.”
Rooms at $200 a night are often sold out.
Visitors to the farm of infamous outlaw Jesse James in Kearney, Mo., can see the house where he was shot in the back while straightening a picture.
Al Capone’s Hideout in Couderay, Wis., is a fortified lakeside estate with bulletproof walls, gun turrets and a guard tower. It’s also a popular a restaurant and bar.
