About the Gibson House Museum
137 Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02116
The Gibson House Museum is a private, nonprofit house museum in Boston's historic Back Bay neighborhood. It was home to three generations of Gibson family members and their household staff between 1859 and 1954. The Museum’s four floors of period rooms, including the original kitchen, are a time capsule of domestic life in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Visitors experience the house through guided tours that interpret class and culture through the stories and objects of the people who lived and worked there.
The museum exists because of the vision of Charlie Gibson, Jr., a poet, horticulturist, and notable Boston character. A gay man, Charlie never married nor had children. Beginning in 1936, he decided to preserve his home as a monument to his family’s legacy and to the Boston of his youth. The Gibson House officially opened to the public as a museum in 1957 and has been open ever since.
