Visit Hull-House for a nighttime history tour led by an experienced Hull-House Educator. Engage with stories from the settlement’s past, when immigrant neighbors responded to the rapid transformations of industrialism with tales of imagination and horror.  

From its inception, the Hull-House settlement was a center of urban legends and supernatural stories, an oral tradition kept alive by neighbors who imagined unearthly inhabitants who lived at the settlement. 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. 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 highlight the struggles of new immigrants in the city and the gruesome conditions they faced due to capitalist exploitation.  

Tours are 45 minutes long. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your tour start time.
