Mary Baker Eddy actively led the Christian Science movement from 1908 to 1910 from this home. During three fruitful years, as she neared her 90th birthday, her remarkable accomplishments included founding an international newspaper (The Christian Science Monitor, still a thriving news organization and the first to be founded by a woman), making hundreds of revisions to her extensive writings (she is the author of 17 books), including her cornerstone work and most important doctrinal statement, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures; authorizing this textbook’s first translation into another language to serve what was rapidly becoming a global religious movement; and producing a stream of pastoral letters, articles, and messages to her Church and the world. This was her final home; she passed away in this house on December 3, 1910. In 1995, Mary Baker Eddy was elected to the National Women’s Hall of Fame as the first American woman to have founded a worldwide religion.
