Entrepreneur Katharine Gibbs built her world-famous school before women’s suffrage and made Gibbs the most famous school of its kind in the world from 1911 to 2011. Katharine Gibbs made sure that all of the campuses were in beautiful buildings in elegant parts of their cities.
Join a tour of the excellent sites of Gibbs in Back Bay from 1917 to 2011. Whether you are a graduate, a history buff, or someone who has heard about Gibbs for years and wants to know more, here is a great treat!
