5. Jane Addams Hull-House Museum

LITTLE ITALY.   A quest for social reform and belief in equal opportunities for all community members were driving forces behind Jane Addams' establishment in 1889 of a settlement house in one of Chicago's immigrant neighborhoods. Now owned by the surrounding university, the restored structure houses a museum that honors Addams, her work in Chicago, and her influence on civil rights and women's suffrage. Documents, furniture, and plenty of photographs tell the story of this remarkable woman.   (© 10Best)

Jane Addams was a remarkable woman. Her contribution to society clearly impacts the life we live today. If not for Jane Addams, many of our ancestors would not have been given the opportunity to better themselves. As a result, future generations reap the benefits with a much healthier and wealthier lifestyle.
