Historic Denver, Inc.

I remember looking at the Molly Brown House when I was a young child with my mother. It was so grand looking, and it made a great impact on me. The Historic Denver, Inc. purchased and restored the house to help save it from the current popular demolition that was occurring in that area in the 1970s. They tried to restore it back to the 1910's original looking house. They have done a great job of keeping the Victorian era alive and well in this museum. It is definitely a trip worth taking to see this impressive Molly Brown House Museum in Denver, Colorado.
