Interesting experience, I love learning more about the history of my beautiful country. Dian gave me a tour and trust me she was the best story teller ever. Very nice and patient.
Completed in 1860, the Gibson House stands virtually untouched as a historic house museum in Back Bay. A unique and unspoiled single-family residence, it retains its kitchen, scullery, butler's pantry, and water closets, as well as formal rooms and private quarters. As early as 1936, Charles Gibson Jr. decided to preserve his nineteenth-century townhouse as a museum. He died in 1954 and the Gibson House was officially opened to the public as a museum in 1957. In 2001, the National Park Service designated Gibson House as a National Historic Landmark.
