We had a few hours in Denver, CO at the tail end of our trip to Rocky Mountain National Park and we decided to visit this museum. This house museum is an architectural landmark devoted to the life of Ms. Brown. She was best known for being one of the survivors of the Titanic’s tragedy.

To the right of the hallway there are two interconnected rooms, a study and a library.
These rooms contained a lot of small artifacts aimed to showcase the life in Denver during that time.

Takeaways: Molly Brown House
Ms. Brown House Museum is a small museum with nice Victorian artifacts. Compared to other mansions we visited, it felt a bit small and, therefore, overpriced. We would only recommend visiting this museum if you are truly into the history of this period or have a few hours and dollars to spare while in the area.
