Hull-House Museum

The Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, located in Chicago's Near West Side, commemorates the legacy of pioneering social reformer Jane Addams, the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The museum occupies two of the original Hull-House buildings: the Hull Home, a National Historic Landmark, and the Residents’ Dining Hall. As part of the University of Illinois Chicago, it serves as a center for research, education, and social engagement, linking the historic settlement house vision to contemporary social issues. Visitors can explore exhibits on immigration, labor rights, and social reform, including over 1,100 artifacts and rotating exhibitions. The museum offers free admission and strives to provide an accessible experience for all guests.
