Beauty and Convenience in Greater Boston

Our founder Eliza Walker may not have known in 1869 what a premier location she had chosen for her Home for Missionary Children. The Walker Center's lush and inviting suburban campus is easily accessible from major highways and is walking distance from the Riverside T Station, which connects our guests to Boston, local colleges, and many other area attractions. The village of Auburndale and the surrounding city of Newton offer plenty of local restaurants and shops nearby.
