The Molly Brown House Museum is one of Denver’s most interesting historic attractions, offering a glimpse into the life of one of the city’s most famous residents: Margaret "Molly" Brown. Molly Brown is best known as a survivor of the sinking of the Titanic, but she was also a philanthropist and women's rights activist. She came to Colorado from Missouri with her husband, who made his fortune from silver mining. Her home was built in 1890 in the prestigious Capitol Hill district of Denver.
It has been open to the public as a museum since 1970, following restoration by Historic Denver, Inc. It gives visitors a glimpse of upper-class Victorian life in Denver, having been carefully restored and filled with period furniture, wallpaper, and household items from the early 1900s. It is possible to tour the museum with in-house guides (who are often in costume) taking visitors through the rooms while sharing Molly Brown’s life story, her activism, and the history of the house and Denver at the time. The museum hosts temporary exhibits about women’s history, suffrage, social reform, and Titanic-related artifacts.
