Molly Brown House Museum

Category: Museum

Built in 1889, this was the home of J.J. And Margaret (Molly) Brown from 1894 to 1932. The “unsinkable” Molly Brown became a national heroine in 1912 when the Titanic sank. She helped lead a lifeboat of immigrant women and children, and later helped raise charity for their benefit. She famously ran for both state and national senate seats, and was a founding member of the Colorado chapter of the National American Women's Suffrage Association and fought hard to win women the right to vote.

Now restored to its 1910 appearance, the Molly Brown House has a large collection of early 20th century furnishings and art objects, many of which belonged to the Brown family. There are also temporary exhibits, and a carriage house with a museum store at the rear is open to visitors. The house can be seen on guided tours. Allow 1 hour for the tour, which is $6.50 for adults and $3 for children.
