Tour the Mary Baker Eddy Historic Houses
April 12, 2010
Saturday, June 5, and Sunday, June 6
Longyear Museum’s Mary Baker Eddy Historic Houses will be open for guided tours on the weekend just before the Annual Meeting of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. These houses trace Mrs. Eddy’s footsteps as Discoverer, Founder, and Leader of Christian Science.
Each house marks a stage in Mrs. Eddy’s life, from the struggles of her earlier New Hampshire years to the final years of accomplishment represented by her home at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Her story is rekindled for visitors as they cross each threshold to stand in the very rooms where she lived and worked. These landmarks help bring the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to life, and illuminate the history of one of the most noted women of her day.
Longyear is offering free house tours from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 5, and Sunday, June 6. Tours include the Mary Baker Eddy Historic Houses in North Groton, Rumney, and Concord, New Hampshire, and in Swampscott, Amesbury, Stoughton, and Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Mrs. Eddy’s house in Lynn, Massachusetts, will not be open due to ongoing restoration work.
