“How can you not respect what Mrs. Eddy did? You have to keep telling this story. People need to hear it.”
The local visitor who made these comments was surprised and impressed by what he had learned during his recent tour of Mary Baker Eddy’s home at 400 Beacon Street. He thought he was coming to see period rooms and historic furniture, but he left with more—much more.
For over a century, Longyear has been preserving the history of Mary Baker Eddy and sharing it with a wide range of visitors. People come from around the world to learn about the Discoverer, Founder, and Leader of Christian Science in the very rooms where she lived and worked. They also come from around the corner, curious about the woman who lived in their community over 100 years ago.
Your gift to the Mary Baker Eddy Historic House Appeal helps us keep the doors of these houses open so we can continue to tell her story—to those who know very little about her, as well as to lifelong Christian Scientists. The world deserves the blessings that come from a deeper appreciation of Mrs. Eddy and her selfless work for humanity.
Operating and maintaining these eight important sites costs $800,000 annually. Your financial investment is essential to Longyear’s ability to continue sharing Mrs. Eddy’s story with an ever-widening audience.
We invite you to consider making a gift to this year’s Mary Baker Eddy Historic House Appeal.
