Reviews of Ida B. Wells-Barnett House
"Just drove there to see the exterior. Think it's a private residence. There is a sign post indicating it's Ids B. Wells-Barnett House."
"To see the house of a legend, a goddess, and my hero was amazing. You cannot go inside but there is an information stand giving information."
"I love this place because it has so much history. So much was sacrificed by Ms Ida B Wells back in the day and we should be graceful for her and her motivation. This home of her's a landmark and should always be cared for. A colleague and I met the owner that evening and the stories that were shared we're priceless."
"Love, love, love this home and it's history! If you're thinking about visiting, consider the book, "Lifting As They Climbed: Making a History if Black Women in Chicago's South side". It takes readers on a tour of locations connected to Black women (including Ida B. Wells) and so many others who helped to build Chicago and lived in that area."
"A beautiful home within the historic Bronzeville neighborhood on Chicago's South Side. The home appears to be in excellent condition and the landmark is descriptive and very informative. So happy that I got a chance to view this historic home and neighborhood before leaving Chicago."
