Advance Longyear’s Work: Support the Annual Operating Fund for Historic Houses

June 13, 2011

As Longyear welcomes visitors to the Mary Baker Eddy historic houses during the 2011 tour season, we are especially grateful for the supporters whose annual contributions help us maintain and preserve these sites and open them to the public. These houses serve as valuable educational resources for sharing an accurate story of Mrs. Eddy’s history with visitors of all ages. One individual recently told us, “The tours of the houses anchored my understanding of Mrs. Eddy and her life history, and I appreciate them now more than ever.”

Longyear’s Trustees and staff take seriously the privilege of operating, maintaining, and preserving these historic houses which help advance the understanding of the life and work of the Discoverer, Founder, and Leader of Christian Science. Today we invite you to make a gift or a pledge to help Longyear with a tax-deductible donation that supports the year-round operations and maintenance of the eight Mary Baker Eddy historic houses. Unrestricted contributions ranging from $25 to $100 to $500 to more than $1,000 provide for a variety of annual costs, including opening for visitors, utilities, painting, minor repairs, tree care, and other ongoing maintenance.

Your generosity is needed and your gift will be used prudently. To make your contribution or pledge, please contribute online, call Longyear at 800.277.8943, ext. 222, or mail your gift to Longyear Museum and note that your contribution is for the Annual Operating Fund for Historic Houses. Thank you, in advance, for considering this request in support of furthering our mission to advance the understanding of the life and work of Mary Baker Eddy.
