Gibson House Museum Executive Director Charles Swift is the featured speaker at a program hosted by the Gibson House Museum on Thursday, February 24, 2011 beginning at 5:30 p.m. Although the weather outside might be frightful, it’s still possible to take a stroll down one of Boston’s most famous streets. Sit in the Gibson House Museum’s beautiful Music Room as Mr. Swift takes you on a virtual trip down Beacon Street in this illustrated lecture, covering over three hundred years of buildings, families, and history, starting at the corner of Beacon and Tremont streets and heading out into the Back Bay.
The Gibson House Museum is the only museum in Back Bay, preserved as it was lived in by three generations of the Gibson family (1859-1954). Opened as a museum in 1957, the house tells the story of daily life in the Back Bay from the mid-nineteenth to early twentieth century. The Museum also displays its collection of Victorian and Edwardian decorative arts. The Gibson House Museum is located at 137 Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02116.
Free for Gibson House Museum members, $10 non-members. Reservations recommended. Please RSVP to 617-267-6338 or info@thegibsonhouse.org to reserve a space. Space is limited. Photo below by Eric Hill.
