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.

The Gibson House Museum held its 26th Annual Benefit at the historic St. Botolph Club on April 11, 2023.
As the Museum’s primary fundraising event, the Benefit raised funds critical to maintaining the house and its collections, and providing educational programming to the public. The 2023 Benefit honoree was our neighbor, the French Library/Alliance Française.
