Gibson House Museum Holiday Open House

The Gibson House Museum Holiday Open House is our Friday Link. The staff and volunteers have decorated the house in appropriate Victorian style. On Sunday, December 11th, they are opening their doors to friends and neighbors from 1 to 4 p.m. Admission will be free for this event.

They invited us in while they were decorating, so we could give you a sneak preview.

If you can't make the open house on Sunday, or if you have a holiday guest who would love to see what the homes in the Back Bay looked like a hundred years ago, you can take a guided tour of the Gibson House. And if you do that while the decorations are in place, you'll have a bonus dose of holiday spirit at no extra charge!

We hope you've enjoyed another year of recommendations and tips from BostonZest. If you have, you can support the site by using links like this to start your Amazon shopping from here.

    I hope many people who haven’t been to the Gibson House will go check it out this Sunday! I love the house and have brought a number of out of town visitors there over the past few years.

    And, it is even prettier with the holiday decor. Plus you can meet some of the fantastic volunteers who help preserve this treasure.
    The Gibson House event can be followed by a walk down Newbury or Charles Street. It is on Beacon Street between Arlington and Berkeley.
