Traveling to Boston in June?
If you’re planning to attend the 2022 Annual Meeting of The Mother Church, we hope you’ll consider adding two Longyear events to your itinerary.
Open House
Mary Baker Eddy Historic House
Amesbury, Massachusetts
Saturday, June 4
10 A.M.–1 p.m EDT
Be among the first to visit this newly renovated home that sheltered Mary Baker Eddy in 1868 and 1870. Longyear’s multiyear preservation project—reaching from the cedar shingles on the roof to the historic wallpaper inside—restored this 18th-century structure to a home that more closely resembles what Mrs. Eddy would have known. Learn more about Mrs. Eddy’s formative time in Amesbury as she searched the Scriptures after her discovery of Christian Science, began to write down her findings, healed, and taught.
Roundtrip transportation from Longyear Museum is available. (Please arrive at the Museum by 9:45 A.M. as the van will leave promptly at 10 A.M.) Transportation registration required by Wednesday, June 1. $20.

“A Westward Wind: Christian Science Pioneers on the Pacific Coast”
An in-person talk by Heather Vogel Frederick
Monday, June 6
8 A.M.–11 A.M. EDT
Join Heather Vogel Frederick, Longyear’s director of research and publications, for a talk on Christian Science “family history” as she examines the lives of early workers along the Pacific Coast, from British Columbia to Southern California. The story begins in 1885 at the flourishing Massachusetts Metaphysical College in Boston, Massachusetts, where Mary Baker Eddy’s clear teaching launched students whose healing work helped establish Christian Science across the West. You’ll learn the stories of Samuel Greenwood (British Columbia), Lou Aldrich (Portland, Oregon), Francis Fluno (Oakland, California), Sue Ella Bradshaw (San Francisco, California), John Filbert (Los Angeles, California), and Emma Stanton Davis and Emma Easton Newman (Riverside, California).
This talk is free, and registration is not required.
