It’s free and open to public on specific dates, you might have to book an appointment in advance. I learned a lot about the history in this area and got to make a book about this place!
The museum was very interesting. There were no tickets to purchase but we did have to make a reservation on line. My favorite part was the death mask of Jane and getting to see her noble peace award
Very cool museum with really interesting curation that invites you to explore what this place means in history. I don't think I've been to another house museum that felt so much like a place people actually lived, nor one that uses questions to such good effect to prompt guests to think critically about the place, the people, and the impact. Even Miss Addams' books are used as interpretive objects with bookmarks that tell you more of the study. I'm impressed and I really enjoyed it.
Really cool place! Tells the amazing story of fighting for women's rights in an era where this was practically un-heard of. I throughly enjoyed the tour and the artifacts they had on display. Jane Addams nobel prize is here, her books, and really interesting stories and personal accounts of the people she helped and vis-versa. Only downside was parking around UIC is not cool. I was blasted with a $75 parking ticket after my tour
Went here while on a ghost tour. I learned about the negative happenings of the old building. I am planning on making a trip to the museum itself during normal hours to learn more about all of the good things that happen here causing this building to be preserved and turned into a museum. It is of note that this is the most haunted house in the city of Chicago and multiple past inhabitants have written books about it going back to the 1800s. Many museum goers and workers have also reported haunted happenings as well.
