The People
Between 1859 and 1954, three generations of Gibson family members and dozens of servants lived and worked at 137 Beacon Street. In many ways, their experiences are typical of individuals of their particular gender and social class. And yet, their unique stories allow us to explore this period of Boston’s history through a distinctly personal lens.

Join us for our 27th Annual Museum Benefit!
Thursday, April 18, 6:00-8:30
St. Botolph Club, Boston
As 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.
