Nashville, Tennessee, 24thth August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, This past weekend, local Scientologists and community guests in Nashville, TN, gathered for a special audiovisual presentation showcasing the grand dedication of the historical site of the first Dianetics Foundation in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The presentation highlighted the restoration of 42 Aberdeen Road, where L. Ron Hubbard established the first Dianetics Foundation 75 years ago, and left attendees uplifted and inspired to visit the site in person.
The newly restored Colonial-Revival building—just 15 miles from New York City—has been meticulously returned to its 1950s appearance, including the very rooms where Hubbard delivered the first Dianetics lectures and trained the first auditors. Complete with original furnishings, vintage fixtures, and even Hubbard’s Ford Deluxe “Woody” Wagon, the site now stands as a Landmark of international importance.
The audiovisual program captured the spirit of the New Jersey dedication, where speakers including civic leaders, restoration experts, and religious figures spoke of the global impact of Hubbard’s work. From the publication of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health in 1950 to the worldwide expansion of Scientology today, the site was celebrated as the cornerstone of a movement that transformed countless lives.
Attendees in Nashville remarked on how the presentation brought history to life, making them feel as though they were standing inside the landmark itself. One guest commented, “It was inspiring to see where it all began. I can’t wait to visit the site and experience it for myself.”
Now one of seven official L. Ron Hubbard Landmark Sites across three continents, the Elizabeth property joins other historic locations preserved for future generations. For Nashville viewers, the audiovisual event was not only a window into history but also a call to continue exploring the legacy of Dianetics and Scientology.
