Gibson House Museum

"This Victorian house is a hidden gem. Walking through the door is taking a step back in time. The guides are knowledgeable and make the visit interesting. I’ve been on two different tours and have signed up for another. Well worth a visit!"

"A gem in Back Bay - I wish more people knew about this place. Scheduling a visit was easy and the house itself is beautiful. Our tour guide was informed and passionate. Will definitely re-visit some time and think it is absolutely worth stopping by!"

"Beautiful house with a lot of interesting history and things to see! I've lived in and around Boston for over a decade now, this was the first I had heard of this museum and I'm so glad I got to see it. Most of the original house was left untouched, 80% from what I recall, it's a must-see. The tour was great and thorough. Keep an eye open for interesting letters, tools/knicknacks, and artwork!"

"This Victorian townhouse museum is an absolute hidden gem and was my favorite stop on my Bookish explorations of Boston. It’s where they filmed parts of Little Women, and as a Harry Potter fan, I found it to be a perfect dupe for Grimmauld Place! Curated and donated to the public by a gay author, the house is a slice of queer history that houses three generations of Gibson family members and dozens of servants between 1859 and 1954. The Gibson House Museum is open to the public year-round by guided tour. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for students, and $5 for children."

"Our tour guide was so awesome; gave so many insights regarding the family history and the house."
