It’s Women’s History Month and we’re here to celebrate! Learn about the ambitious Nichols sisters, renown women artists, and domestic staff who made an impact at 55 Mount Vernon. Tour the 19th-century Beacon Hill townhouse then enjoy tea and treats afterwards.
Tour and reception last approximately one hour. The Museum is across three floors with no elevator. Advanced registration is required. $22 general admission; $18 member.
About the Nichols House: In 1885, Elizabeth Nichols and Dr. Arthur Nichols purchased this 1804 townhouse where their three daughters matured into designers, writers, and social activists. They employed live-in domestic staff who also occupied the home. Rose Standish Nichols later inherited the property and decided it would become a museum, featuring a collection of fine and decorative art as well as everyday objects, upon her death in 1960.
