Explore the Gibson House and early-twentieth-century Boston through the eyes of Charlie Gibson, the museum’s founder. His story weaves together themes of legacy and family history, the fading grandeur of Victorian-era Boston, and the often-overlooked role gay men like Charlie played in the historic preservation movement. Through richly preserved interiors and personal narratives, this specialty house tour offers a meaningful glimpse into a changing city and the people who worked to protect its heritage.
Visitors should note that each tour involves walking up and down several flights of stairs, and the Gibson House is not air-conditioned. In addition to regularly scheduled and specialty tours, private group tours are available by appointment, making it possible to experience this remarkable historic home in a more personalized setting.
