Did the self-guided tour and strolled around the house. This house is well-maintained and beautifully organized, it’s a real privilege to be in old historic buildings and walk through history. Thanks to all who make this place possible. There’s a very well-curated room on the 2nd floor that engages visitors to think critically about what is on display, and what is implied by historical and present-day “norms” of how yt folks interact with non-yt folks and cultures. Really worthwhile to focus time on that room during a visit. It fits into the experience of the house very well, imo.

Unfortunately, the house’s affiliated gift shop straight up ignores the notions of critical thinking that the unique room inspires by (for example) selling little culturally appropriated Egyptian statues like the one MB reportedly carried around with her for luck or something. Also, *so* much monetization off of the tragedy of the Titanic’s sinking. A gift shop’s a shop, of course, and ffs customers will buy anything…but…idk. Go have a visit and think on it for yourself! Definitely recommend the museum!

This place is stunning. It's like stepping back in time. Everything displayed in the home is fascinating. If you're in the area with about an hour to burn, 🔥 one up and step back in time. See the polar bear rug. it's the coolest thing that caught my eye.

Props to the staff and volunteers, you can tell they have passion in the history of not only the museum, but Colorado overall. The information on how everything was renovated over the years was helpful to get an idea how each home owner utilized each room after JJ and Margaret Brown. My personal favorite room was the bathroom because it managed to have all essentials under compact spacing.

If you really want to know who Margaret Brown was then a trip to the museum is worth the stop when visiting Denver. I definitely learned the movie The Unsinkable Molly Brown was not a true depiction of who she was and all that she did to help and support people. A lot of great information can be read on your own or you can choose to have a guided tour. Whatever your choice you will be inspired by her life.

It’s a beautiful house with a lot of history. I was a bit disappointed I didn’t get to see ghost cat but it’s a reason to return. The tour guide seemed very knowledgeable and welcoming. The gift shop has a lot of cute items including ghost cat shirts for sale.

A fabulous museum dedicated to an amazing woman.
It feels like you have stepped back in time when you walk in. You can opt for a self guided tour or tour guide. We opted for self guided.
There was lots of information of Molly Brown and her family. It was great to see and feel like it had been left just as she had left it.
Very much worth a visit.
The staff were friendly and helpful.

Had the best volunteer lady at the door ever! She knew so much about the Molly Brown House. It was absolute pleasure spending the time talking with her. I unfortunately don’t remember her name, she was blond and Roughly in her 50’s. So much information on a woman that survived the titanic, fought for woman rights to vote. Helped set up homes for others. Information about mining too. Fabulous pieces of art. Which some of them really need to tell you the story about where they came from. They are beautiful and even more powerful showcasing the beauty of different cultures and strength of love through the arts.

Really awesome to be able to walk through at your own pace. They had it all decorated up for Christmas! The guides are very informative. Only bad thing is parking. There is only street parking available, so plan on getting early hoping you get lucky or planning on walking a bit.

My Mom and I stopped in for a tour and learned about Molly Brown and her life's journey. Yes she was a guest on the Titanic, but she was also a champion of local life and development in Denver. The house is well preserved with artifacts from her time spent in the house while telling her story. We enjoyed learning about her activism in the local communities and the effects of it today. If you are a history buff, or just looking to learn a little more about one person's life in Denver, check out the Molly Brown house!

It's definitely a nice place, but the admission fee is expensive. I was lucky enough to get free admission using my Lewisville library card. 1 hour is enough.

Super fun and informational. I learned a lot. Parking is a nightmare, so allow time to find a spot and walk to the house. Make sure to spend some time in the gift shop. We did the guided tour, and then we're able to wander around on our own.

Absolutely loved my visit to the Molly House Museum! It's like stepping into history with well-curated exhibits. Super interesting and a must-see for anyone into history!

I love the Titanic so this place was a MUST when I visited Denver. The house is really pretty, I was impressed by all the little details it had. I took so many pictures and a few videos but I couldn't get enough of the experience. I wish I had a house decorated like that haha. They have a little gift shop with a lot of cool stuff, I obviously got a bunch of cool things. Totally recommend if you're a fan.

This is such a fun historical place to visit! The staff and guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. They do have self guided tours and guided tours that will explain everything to you. The museum has two fantastic guides that are available to answer all your questions plus booklets, and information guides that explain lots of interesting information. We went on three floors plus in the basement. There’s a wonderful documentary about Molly Brown.

We got free tickets to explore on our own through our library. I believe 7 county libraries participate. There are some really interesting artifacts to see. All the workers are knowledgeable and can answer questions. There are qr codes for self guided audio tours. Lots of text to read about different rooms. On the top floor there are laminated cards with questions about historical documents to test your critical thinking. Flip the card over for answers.

The kitchen gadgets and one of the first washing machines were cool to see.

Very limited handicap access. It's a residential street, so there's no handicapped parking either.

They don't have a parking lot. Street parking is very limited. Across the street parking is reserved for different businesses with the risk of tiring, so plan to arrive early and walk. Inside there are also lots of stairs to access 4 floors. They are still doing timed entry tickets.
