April 24 through April 30, 2025
Mark your calendars! You won’t want to miss this engaging and immersive virtual open house, as we open wide the doors to Mary Baker Eddy’s final home in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.
Longyear members are invited to join us during the week of April 24-30, 2025, for this exclusive online event.
Longyear staff will take you on a 25-minute guided tour of the main house. You’ll visit key rooms where Mrs. Eddy and her staff lived and worked.
Step into the imposing stone carriage house and see its array of horse-drawn vehicles and a brand-new display of the original harnesses.
Learn about the 1907 expansion of the house, the 1908 renovation, and Longyear’s just-completed, top-to-bottom restoration.
Join the author of A Home for Spike for a storytime session as she reads this enchanting book aloud. And we’re sure that kids will also enjoy a special craft demonstration.
Step back into history and imagine what life was like at 400 Beacon Street while listening to several chapters from this Longyear Museum Press publication.
Make your own way through each floor of the main house using interactive Matterport technology.
On April 23, members will receive an email link to the event, which begins on April 24. All the virtual programs can be accessed at your convenience, as often as you’d like, during the week the site is live.
Remember, this event is available only to Longyear members! Additional membership benefits include a complimentary bi-annual magazine with in-depth research and engaging articles; free entry to the Mary Baker Eddy Historic Houses; and early notice and access to events.
