The Governor Henry Lippitt House has been a Providence, Rhode Island, landmark for 150 years. A reflection of the great wealth created from manufacturing in nineteenth-century Providence, the museum represents the epitome of Victorian design and sensibilities. But what relevancy does it have today in our post-industrial age? On Monday, May 16 at The Gibson House, 137 Beacon Street in Boston, Lippitt House Museum Executive Director Carrie Taylor will discuss the evolving role of historic house museums as a community resource and the museum’s efforts to engage the local community through new program initiatives.
Reception begins at 6 pm, program at 7 pm. $10 for Gibson House members, $15 for nonmembers. To pre-register, please e-mail info@thegibsonhouse.org.
