Back Bay Walking Tour: Katharine Gibbs School and Gibbs College

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! 

Limited to 12 people. Please call (781) 540-1847 or write to [email protected] to say you will be present.  We will meet at the right-hand statue outside the Boston Public Library, Dartmouth Street, Copley Square.  Before the tour I will send an illustrated list of the places we will visit.  

Led by Rose A. Doherty author of Katharine Gibbs: Beyond White Gloves, the first book about Gibbs history, and former dean and board chair of Gibbs Boston.
