This antique-filled Victorian house was the home of Molly Brown, not only a famous survivor of the Titanic, but so much more. Entry to the Museum has changed in light of COVID-19. In order to protect our guests, volunteers, and staff all guests are now required to purchase tickets online before arriving at the Museum. Guests will be allowed to enter the Museum for a self-guided tour every 20 minutes with no more than 6 people per entry time.

If you are interested in gaining history about one of Denver's most famous citizens, the Molly Brown House Museum should be on your list of sightseeing while in Denver! I had a couple of hours to spare in the middle of the day, while in town for a conference. I was able to walk over to the Molly Brown House Museum from my hotel on 16th Street with ease. Once arriving, the tour guide, Suzette, was amazing. She was so knowledgeable about Margaret "Molly" and JJ Brown, their family, and what brought them to Denver. Additionally, the restoration of the home is absolutely AMAZING! To see how the Browns lived all those years ago, how fascinating. This is definitely a tour to not miss. Make sure you stop by the gift shop for some unique souvenirs including special Harney & Sons tea that is make specifically for the Molly Brown House Museum and a bookmark which is a replica of the impressive stain glass windows that are found inside the house.

You can spend hours here. I only saw three of the exhibitions but they were all terrific. Interesting and well told. Destination Colorado about Keona that turned in to a ghost town. An interesting tale about how life was for the settlers. It was aimed at both kids and grown ups. Denver A-Z is reallatively quick to see and really just some fun facts about Denver. Written on the land – takes you through the history of the Ute Indians. The interesting history is also filled with movies and interviews. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to see the other exhibitions. Included in the is also a ticket to the Center for Colorados Women History. So you get a lot for the $14 entrance fee.
