In Brookline, along the westbound lanes for Route 9, is the Longyear Museum. Within the museum grounds is a brick walkway that has a number of engraved bricks. The path starts on a rocky ledge by the stone gate arch that has the words, "Eddy." and "Pleasant View." on the arch. The bricks then wind by a gazebo, then a fountain (currently being installed), then down to the parking lot. There are easily 1000 bricks in the walk but it is probably much more, as the walk is about 100 feet long, and most of the bricks are engraved.
The Longyear Museum is dedicated to documenting and preserving artifacts related to the life of Mary Baker Eddy and the founding of the Christian Science denomination. Pleasant View was a place she lived at in Concord, New Hampshire. The arch, gazebo and fountain (being installed) were from the home, which now no longer exists.
The web site for the museum lists ways to support the museum. One of the listings is Living Stones. It states, "Put your name or the name of someone you want to recognize on Longyear’s Pleasant View Walk." Check the museum for times that they are open for a visit.
