Longue Vue

Preserving and sharing a legacy of design, community, and lifelong learning

Mature masterpiece of trailblazing female designer Ellen Biddle Shipman, Longue Vue was established as a family home in 1921 and donated as a community resource in 1980. The family who lived here—Edith and Edgar Stern and their children—collaborated with Shipman to design a space of belonging and wellness for all. In 1980 they donated the eight-acre estate to serve community full-time.

In honor of the legacy, Longue Vue today is a space for personal growth, social progress, and community connections in the beauty of nature. Our mission is to preserve and share a legacy of design, community, and lifelong learning.
