Very cool experience seeing such a well preserved old Victorian house. Molly Brown was a very interesting character and it was such a cool feeling saying I was her residence after more than 100 years. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Also keep an eye out for some possible paranormal experiences!

I was able to obtain free 2 hr on-street parking directly across the street. I would highly recommend this tour and their gift shop, which surprisingly had a wide variety of items to select from. You won't be disappointed! The tour guide was very informative, divulging interesting facts about Margaret's (she was never called Molly before her dealth) upbringing, marriage, her time upon the Titanic, and her suffrage movement history until her death. This was a beautiful house to tour, with many great details, finishes, and furnishings, both original and restored. It's amazing what a 5 bedroom, 1 bath, 7,500 SF home on 1 acre in downtown Denver cost 100+ years ago or what it sold for during The Great Depression. I encourage you to book yourself a tour to find out those figures ($$) and a lot more!

This is a very good museum with a lot of history on the Brown family, mining, and Colorado. Our docent was excellent! Lots of back stories and what it was like for the Browns to live in this house. I recommend buying your tickets online and allowing time to find a parking spot. You may have to park a few blocks away.

Wonderful historical learning experience. Not just for a historic home, but for the two things, Ms. Brown was known for surviving the titanic sinking and her work for women's rights in America. What an amazing woman!

Visiting the Molly Brown House and Museum in Denver was like stepping back in time to the early 1900s. The house itself is beautifully preserved, with intricate details and period furnishings that give you a real sense of how people lived during that era. Walking through each room, you’re surrounded by the history of the time, from the gorgeous stained-glass windows to the antique furniture. One of the most fascinating parts of the tour was seeing the Titanic memorabilia. It was surreal to be in the home of one of the most famous Titanic survivors and hear the incredible stories of Molly Brown’s resilience and courage during that fateful voyage. What I found especially inspiring was how the museum also highlights Molly Brown’s role in the women’s suffrage movement. Learning about her passionate involvement in fighting for women’s rights adds a deeper dimension to her legacy beyond the Titanic. The museum does an excellent job of showcasing her as a trailblazer, not just for surviving a disaster but for her tireless activism. Overall, the Molly Brown House and Museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in history, offering a rich, immersive experience that brings the past to life in an unforgettable way!
