Reviewed 2010-06-01.
Home to the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, this website provides a contemporary view of the history of the museum. This includes a gateway to a variety of resources on the history of Hull-House, such as “Hull-House History on Call” and “Urban Experience,” as well as exhibits designed to carry the vision of the settlement house into the present. Exhibits cover topics such as “Immigrant City: Chicago,” and “Chicago Amplified.” The site also presents information about upcoming and past exhibitions, planning a visit, and general museum details. A general background offers information about Jane Addams and Hull House and provides links to additional resources. The home page describes upcoming programs and events that connect with the Hull-House Museum mission: the “Hull-House Farmer’s Market,” “Re-Thinking Soup” (a “modern day soup kitchen . . . where we gather together and eat . . . and have fresh, organic conversation”), “Hull-House Farm,” and a free “Canning Manual.”

Lower East Side Tenement Museum
Lower East Side Tenement Museum.
In 1863, 97 Orchard Street, a tenement in New York City’s Lower East Side, opened its doors to the growing population of recent immigrants to that city, housing more than 7000 people before it closed in 1935. The museum that now occupies that building has restored six families’ apartments with careful attention to historical detail. This website, while primarily intended as a guide for those intending to visit the physical museum, provides several tantalizing glimpses at tenement life, as well as information on historical restoration. The History section presents fifteen photographs and etchings explaining the evolution of bathrooms, light, water, and heat in the building, as well as examples of primary source documents and interviews available in the museum’s collections. Additionally, a small exhibit of five photographs reconstructs how the museum’s curators interpreted an apartment in the tenement to 1918—showing the use of crime scene photographs to determine how the family would have decorated the walls. The Play section contains a narrated virtual tour of the museum, and five well-designed interactive experiences on immigration and immigrant life geared towards younger learners. Highlights from these sections are repeated in the Education section, which also includes three lesson plans each for elementary, middle, and high school levels focused on teaching with objects, oral histories, and other primary sources.
