Founding Date

1900-11

Description

The Hull-House Labor Museum was created with the hope that older generations of immigrants who were masters of a trade in their home country could show and teach that trade to second and third generations of immigrants. Children of original immigrants often looked down on their parents and grandparents for practicing these trades, seeing them as "uncouth and un-American".

The Labor Museum offered classes and demonstrations in textile manufacturing, metal working, bookbinding, and various other crafts. Multiple nationalities were represented as well, including Italians, Romanians, Poles, and many other communities.
