Individually, each home tells a distinct chapter of Mrs. Eddy’s story—of her decades spent in search and discovery of the Science of healing; of her years of refining the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, and establishing the Church of Christ, Scientist, and launching its key publications; or of her foresight and achievements in leading the Church and cementing its structures and systems to serve future generations.
Taken together, the information, artifacts, and guided tours at all the Historic Houses compass the wide arc of Mrs. Eddy’s eventful and impactful roles as Discoverer, Founder, and Leader of Christian Science.
