The Nichols House Museum

Included admission free with the card.

Description

The Nichols House Museum offers a unique glimpse into 19th and early 20th century Bostonian life in a historic Beacon Hill townhouse. The Nichols House Museum was established in 1961 through a legacy from the late Rose Standish Nichols, the last of her family to occupy the home as a residence.

Born in 1872, Miss Nichols was an author, suffragist, and lifelong pacifist. In 1915, she became a founding member of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. She distinguished herself as one of America's first professional women landscape designers. The house is of Federal design and attributed to Charles Bulfinch, the eminent Boston architect of the post-Revolutionary War era. It is furnished with priceless possessions gathered from every corner of the globe. They have been accumulated over several generations and include ancestral portraits, Flemish tapestries, oriental rugs, European and Asian art, and works by America's foremost sculptor of the 19th century, Augustus Saint Gaudens.
