Back Bay Walking Tour, Katharine Gibbs School Gibbs College

EXPLORE BACK BAY IN JUNE.  LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY AND SITES OF

KATHARINE GIBBS SCHOOL/GIBBS COLLEGE IN BOSTON

Gibbs was the most famous school of its kind in the world from 1911 to 2011.  Katharine Gibbs made sure that all of the campuses from Providence, Boston, New York, and beyond were in beautiful buildings in elegant parts of their cities.  Join me in a tour of the excellent sites of Gibbs in Back Bay from 1917 to 2011.

Whether you love Boston history, are a graduate, or have heard about Gibbs for years and want to know more, here is a great treat! 

Join me as we walk through the Gibbs Back Bay.  You will see the sites of the 1917 Gibbs on Huntington Avenue and the last Gibbs College in the world on Newbury Street in 2011.  We will stop at all of the places that were official Gibbs buildings.

This Back Bay adventure is free, but the number of people is limited. Please register by calling or emailing. 

The tour is a little over a mile so please wear comfortable shoes and bring water.  No dress code!  I have been told that I walk briskly.
