Join us for a reception and tour led by etiquetteer Robert Dimmick focusing on Victorian and early 20th century etiquette.


There were significant changes in American behavior over the 100-year span of the Gibson family’s residence on Beacon Street. Etiquetteer Robert Dimmick uses Gibson family stories from the archives to illustrate the evolution of etiquette and customs with a witty and informative one-hour tour of the family rooms of the Gibson House. Don’t miss this glimpse of Victorian and early 20th-century culture and customs in this unique setting.
