NICHOLS HOUSE MUSEUM

BOSTON, MA

Nichols House Museum is located in Boston, Massachusetts, in the heart of the city’s Back Bay neighborhood. The museum is a tribute to the life and legacy of Margaret Henderson Nichols and her family. The Nichols family was among the first African-American families to settle in the area during the mid-19th century. The family home, built in 1804, is now a museum open to the public.

The museum is a three-story brick row house that has been beautifully restored and furnished to reflect the family’s life and times. Visitors can explore the first floor, which features the original parlor and the family’s dining room, as well as the restored kitchen with its original cooking utensils. The second floor includes Margaret’s bedroom, an office, and a library, while the third floor is dedicated to the Nichols children’s bedroom.

The museum also houses a number of artifacts, photographs, and documents related to the family’s life. In addition, visitors can learn about the family’s involvement in the abolitionist and civil rights movements. The museum also hosts educational programs and events, including lectures, workshops, and other activities that promote appreciation for the Nichols family’s history and contributions.
