Gibson House Museum

This hidden-gem museum on Beacon Street is worth touring. The 1859 rowhouse is a veritable time capsule of what life was like in Boston from the mid-19th to early-20th centuries, preserved by three generations of the Gibson family. You’ll step into period rooms with antique furniture, not to mention an original kitchen and pantry. Reserve tickets for a general tour, or choose from a list of specialty tours if you want to learn about a new aspect of the house and its inhabitants. And for a bonus fun fact: Part of Greta Gerwig’s Little Women was filmed here.
