Amesbury, MA: Mary Baker Eddy Historic House
All ages • 45 minutes • Guided tour
What to Expect
Mary Baker Eddy was a guest in this home on two occasions. Her time here represents an important transitional period in her life, after her transformative recovery through prayer alone following an accident in Swampscott, Massachusetts. During her stays in the house, she began teaching some of her earliest students in Christian Science.
Includes
Informative guides on your tour will introduce you to the labors and achievements of a remarkable woman who would go on to become one of the most famous in the United States. You’ll learn about the house—the oldest in Longyear’s collection—along with details of day-to-day life in the 19th century. You'll also get to know members of the Bagley family, who welcomed Mrs. Eddy into their home.
