The Nichols House Museum is a historic home located in Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood. Visitors are welcome for tours, programs and special events throughout the year. We highlight topics such as women’s history, decorative arts, and everyday life through stories of the Nichols family and their contemporaries in late 19th century and early 20th century Boston.

The Nichols House Museum preserves and interprets the 1804 Federal townhouse that was home to landscape gardener, suffragist, and pacifist Rose Standish Nichols and her family. Their home and its original art and furnishings provide a glimpse into life on historic Beacon Hill from the mid-19th to mid-20th century. The museum educates and inspires the public through innovative programs, and it continues the conversation on the social concerns the Nichols family embraced that are still relevant today.
