Get ready for spooky season with Jane Addams Hull-House Museum! 🎃

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's infamous Devil Baby and resident Lady in White.

This year, for two nights only, Jane Addams Hull-House Museum will be celebrating the Halloween season by offering special evening ghost tours for visitors ages 16 and up. (All guests under the age of 18 MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian.) Guests will be led through the house by a Museum Educator and will have the opportunity to learn all about Hull-House's haunted history. This event will take place on October 22nd & October 29th from 7 P.M - 8 P.M. Tickets are limited so move quickly to reserve your spot below!

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your tour start time. Limit 4 tickets per group.
