"The Haunting of Hull-House" Night Tours (6:00pm)

Jane Addams Hull-House Museum(JAHHM)draws upon the legacy of international peace activist and feminist, Jane Addams, and other social reformers who worked, alongside their immigrant neighbors, to create social change on the Near West Side of Chicago during the Progressive Era. The Museum preserves and develops the original Hull-House site for the interpretation and continuation of the historic settlement house vision. Exhibitions and public programs elevate histories of activism, progressive education and democratic principles of participation and exchange, and connect them to present-day social justice issues.

Jane Addams Hull-House Museum will be celebrating the Halloween season by offering special evening ghost tours!

Since its inception, the Hull-House Settlement was a center of urban legends and supernatural stories, as Chicago’s neighborhoods kept alive whispers about its supposed unearthly inhabitants. Today, Hull-House is a favorite stop on Chicago ghost tours and it is often hailed as one of the most haunted places in the country. While they are spooky and fun, these stories stem from important conversations about religious beliefs and social norms, as well as the collective consciousness of the Hull-House neighborhood. They often showcase the struggles of new immigrants in the city and the gruesome conditions they faced due to capitalist exploitation. For many, Chicago was a place of great hardship, plagued by a history of tragic events that left countless ghost stories in their wake, including those of Hull-House&#x27;s infamous Devil Baby and resident Lady in White.This year, Jane Addams Hull-House Museum will be celebrating the Halloween season by offering special evening ghost tours, recommended for visitors ages 16 and up. Guests will be led through the house by a Museum Educator and will have the opportunity to learn all about Hull-House&#x27;s haunted history. Tour Dates (6pm and 7pm tours each day):1﻿0/1210/131﻿0/1910/2010/27Tours are 45-50min long.
