The only thing to be dreaded in the Settlement is that it loses its flexibility, its power of quick adaptation, its readiness to change its methods as its environment may demand. It must be open to conviction and must have a deep and abiding sense of tolerance. It must be hospitable and ready for experiment.

About the Museum

A National Historic Landmark preserving the legacy of Hull-House, America’s most influential social settlement.

Founded by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr, Hull-House championed immigrant rights, labor, justice, and democracy.

Through exhibitions and programs, we connect histories of social transformation to the present.

A site of creative expression, activism, education, and research—free and open to the public.

Rooted in Chicago’s Near West Side, with resonance across the world.
