The Warren Dollhouse

In Recollections of My Life forMy Children, Rosamond Warren Gibson (1846–1934), onetime mistress of the Gibson House, recounts some of her fondest memories from her life. She shares stories told to her by older relatives, describes trips to Europe, and even relates vacationing in New Orleans during the Civil War (see “The Gibson Family in the Civil War,Part I,” May 21, 2015). Rosamond’s Recollections is a rich source of material for the stories we tell here at the Gibson House.
