Longyear recently added Mrs. Eddy's former homes in Lynn, Massachusetts, and Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, to its collection. Both will undergo major restoration in the coming years and will not be open to the public on a regular basis in 2007.
In the Lynn home (1875 - 1882), Mrs. Eddy finished writing the first edition of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and founded the Massachusetts Metaphysical College.
While living in Chesnut Hill (1908 - 1910), Mrs. Eddy founded The Christian Science Monitor, made the final revisions to Science and Health and the Church Manual, and authorized the first translation of Science and Health (to German).
