• Happy spooky season! Tour some of our creepiest corners in today’s story. 👀 Here is the Red Study, probably the room that most looks like someone just stepped out of it. Charlie Gibson spent time here amongst his books, prints, and ephemera. . . . #Spooky #SpookySeason #HistoricHouse #HistoricHouseMuseum #19thCenturyHouse #VictorianHouse #VintageDecor #19thCentury #Victorian

  • What can we do to continue recognition and appreciation past Indigenous People’s Day? Feel free to add your suggestions below! I recommend donating to Indigenous organizations and watching/ listening to “Confronting Colonial Myths” from Boston Artist-in-Residence Erin Genia at link in bio. ✨ Boston, including the Gibson House Museum, was built on land traditionally used by Massachusett, Nipmuc, Pawtucket, Mashpee, and Wampanoag communities.
