Longyear's Outdoor Setting Combines Beauty and History
August 10, 2009
This Image Gallery takes you on a picture-tour of Longyear's grounds. In addition to being a decorative landscape, the grounds present historically significant mementos from Mary Baker Eddy's Pleasant View home in Concord, New Hampshire.
Today's Longyear Museum, located at the corner of Boylston Street and Dunster Road in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, formally opened to the public in November 2001. The new facility replaced the Museum's longtime home in the 19th - century mansion of John and Mary Beecher Longyear, founders of this independent institution dedicated to preserving the history of Mary Baker Eddy. The Museum's grounds and inner courtyard reflect the graciousness of the Longyears' former home and echo the beauty of the gardens and grounds Mrs. Eddy loved at her homes at Pleasant View and Chestnut Hill. Each detail in this landscape has a story to tell, recalling the countless lives touched by Mrs. Eddy's discovery and teaching of Christian Science.
