Visit

In addition to the Museum exhibits and galleries, Longyear also maintains eight houses in which Mary Baker Eddy once lived. Each house marks a stage of her life, from the struggles of her earlier New Hampshire years, to her discovery of Christian Science, to the years of accomplishment represented by her home in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.

Mrs. Eddy’s story is rekindled as you cross each threshold to stand in the very rooms where she lived and worked. Longyear Museum invites you to experience these historic sites for yourself.
