3 Real” Denver Haunted Houses You Can Visit In A Day

Built in 1887, Molly Brown House is a home of character with a great history and earned popularity. Margaret "Molly" Brown lived in the Victorian mansion there, on and off, until her death in 1932. Margaret Tobin Brown died of a brain tumor on October 26, 1932, in New York City She was 65 years old. The Browns moved to Denver after they struck-it-rich, and, in 1894, bought a Victorian in the fashionable Capitol Hill neighborhood.

In 1895 the Browns took their family on a tour of Europe, and Maggie found a new world opened up to her. However, once tourists and other fans have been drawn to the buildings, both organizations work hard to present a historical portrayal of the life and homes of Margaret Brown.

Visitors can see the Molly Brown House by taking a tour through it. All tours are guided and take about 45 minutes. Margaret Brown saved many passengers' lives by helping them evacuate the Titanic. When her children were young, she was involved in the early feminist movement in Leadville and aided the establishment of the Colorado chapter of the National American Women's Suffrage Association.

Bringing back a blast from the past, the Historic Hannibal Marketing Council and the Mark Twain Boyhood Home bring the children of Hannibal the magic of Christmas with Hannibal's new Santa House. The museum also houses a permanent collection on James Joseph Brown, Molly's husband.

Hours may vary and the museum is closed on major holidays, so contact the museum to confirm available tour times. The Molly Brown House is a museum dedicated to the legendary Margaret ‘Molly' Brown. Our guest is Jamie Melissa Wilms, Director of Education at the Molly Brown House Museum in Denver, Colorado.

This museum was her house and is full of great history about her, Denver, and the two together. The Brown family moved to Denver in 1894 and Molly founded the Denver Dumb Friends League, designed the juvenile court system and ran for U.S. Senate in 1914. The Molly Brown Birthplace and Museum, situated at the corner of Mark Twain Avenue and Denkler's Alley, now is under the management of the Hannibal Convention and Visitors Bureau after three years of care from the Hannibal History Museum Foundation.

Celebrated on Broadway and in film as the title character in The Unsinkable Molly Brown (with unsinkable Road Tour being a reference to her survival as a passenger of the Titanic), Margaret Brown was born in Missouri and moved to Leadville, Colorado , with two of her siblings when she was 18. She later met and married J.J. Brown, and the couple became rich after J.J. devised a method of reaching gold in one of the mines.
