Pullman National Monument

Pullman National Monument, located in Chicago, Illinois, preserves the historic Pullman neighborhood, which was built in the 1880s as a model company town by George Pullman for workers of his railroad car manufacturing company. It highlights significant aspects of American industrial history, labor relations, and civil rights, as Pullman's workers organized one of the first successful labor strikes in the U.S. The site includes the restored Hotel Florence and the Pullman Factory site, offering insights into 19th-century labor practices and the social challenges of the time, making it a key location for understanding American history and industrial development.
