At Home In Pullman… 

The Pullman House Project invites you to visit our Pullman families - At Home. Experience George M. Pullman's Town of Pullman as his worker's experienced it in the 1880's. You will meet Pullman's workers and their families in the places where they lived, at home in Pullman. 

By 1893, Pullman was home to over 12,000 residents, people who came from all corners of the world, all striving to share in the American dream. The stories of these early residents of the Town of Pullman are our stories, American stories. 

The Pullman House Project uses selected Pullman housing units as the backdrop to tell the stories of Pullman's workers in the places they called home. 

At Home in Pullman explores the stories of these early Pullman residents through guided tours of the houses they called home. These ordinary stories of immigrants, of lower class unskilled workers, skilled tradesmen, professionals, merchants, and their families, helped to shape the America we know today. 

The Pullman House Project includes single family homes and tenement apartments prepared to reflect the conditions experienced by Pullman workers and their families. Their stories will help understand why workers from all over the world left their native homes to relocate to the Town of Pullman. Experience first hand what life was like for these workers and their families in the Town of Pullman.
