Gibson House Museum: A Window into Queer Boston


Adult Enrichment / Out & About -
Fall 2024

Explore the Gibson House Museum in Boston’s historic Back Bay neighborhood and learn about the gay subculture of early-twentieth-century Boston through Charlie Gibson’s eyes. American writer and preservationist Charles Hammond Gibson, Jr., created the museum to preserve his family mansion as a time capsule of the wealth, leisure, and elaborate social decorum of domestic life from the mid-nineteenth to early-twentieth centuries. His story is one of legacy and family history, of the fading grandeur of Victorian-era Boston, and of Boston’s LGBTQ history.

Please note: The tour is one hour and involves walking up and down five flights of stairs.
