Located in a Greek-Revival style mansion, the Fall River Historical Society museum houses a collection of historical artifacts dating back to Fall River's days as an important textile manufacturing center. Visitors can see exhibits on the Fall River steamship line, a large collection of works by the Fall River School artists and costume displays with vintage clothing. The society also manages the renowned Borden Collection, material relating to the trial of the infamous Fall River resident Lizzie A. Borden. The collection includes the original papers of Hosea Morrill Knowlton, the head of prosecution representing the Commonwealth.
