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.
