Thursday, April 11, 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm – 27th Annual Gibson House Museum Benefit: Save the Date

The Gibson House Museum will hold its 27th Annual Benefit at the historic St. Botolph Club on April 11, 2024. The Museum’s primary fundraising event, the Benefit raises funds critical to maintaining the house and its collections and providing public educational programming.

Our 2024 Benefit theme will be “The Sporting Life,” with a nod to the Gibsons and other nineteenth-/early-twentieth-century families who spent much of their leisure time enjoying outdoor activities. 

Our honoree will be Boston’s Community Boating, the oldest public sailing organization in the country, for its mission of breaking down the physical, social, and financial hurdles that sailing frequently presents and providing opportunities for people of all backgrounds and abilities to experience the joys of being on the water.

Sponsorship opportunities are now available; tickets will be available soon.
