The Forbes family was very active in the China Trade, bringing tea and other goods back from China. Celebrate the history of this popular beverage on April 21 – National Tea Day – by enjoying an afternoon of cakes, savory treats, scones and tea in a beautiful Victorian setting. Explore the house and grounds at your leisure during your visit.
All guests will also receive discounted admission to the Gibson House Museum in Boston for a future tour on an available date of their choosing. The Museum’s four floors of period rooms, including the original kitchen, are a time capsule of domestic life in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the same time period depicted at the Forbes House. Explore the similarities and differences between the two homes and two families during your “At Home with the Gibsons” tour.
