Mission Statement

The Jane Addams Hull-House Museum serves as a dynamic memorial to Jane Addams, the work of her associates, and the neighborhood they served.

- Preserves and makes accessible to the public two original Hull-House buildings

- Supports and promotes scholarly debate and research on Hull-House, its founders, and their historical context

- Supports and promotes scholarship on contemporary activities that share in the Hull-House legacy

- Interprets information related to Hull-House and its legacy through exhibitions, educational programing, electronic media, publications, and community outreach projects

- Serves as a facility supporting interdisciplinary work in all areas of the University related to Hull-House's historic settlement-house mission.
