Molly Brown House Museum Historic Denver

Margaret Tobin Brown became famous as a heroic survivor of the Titanic shipwreck that killed 1,500, but her spirit + aspirations were "unsinkable" throughout her colorful career as a leading philanthropist, activist and socialite. Not only was she this amazing woman who helped so many people whether it was on the Titanic or the aftermath of the Ludlow Massacre but that she's also a very accomplished singer, dancer and performer - and not just her but her entire family,” Malcomb said.

Molly (Margaret) Brown was a famous survivor of Titanic; she was a socialite and philanthropist and was a first class passenger on the Titanic. In 1891, Brown purchased stock in a mining company that soon struck gold and he suddenly became very rich. In the nineteen sixty-four movie "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" she was played by Debbie Reynolds.

With the help of History Colorado Center, the museum worked to unearth a different side of Molly and her family - giving people a better understanding of their life in years after World War I. The Molly Brown House Museum in Denver, CO, is hosting Victorian Halloween ghost stories.

People caller her "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" because she helped in getting people into the life boats before she finally got into one herself. Completely restored to its late 1890's appearance, the home offers an insightful look into the life and times of this fascinating woman as well as giving visitors a glimpse of what life was like in Denver's Victorian era.

While her children were young, Margaret was involved in the early feminist movement in Leadville and the establishment of the Colorado Chapter of the National American Women's Suffrage Association. While living in Denver, Maggie became a socialite and philanthropist, advocating for and investing in people and causes all over the world.

Throughout her life, Brown used her family name and money to fight for causes such as children's literacy, historical preservation, miner's rights, and women's suffrage. Margaret Brown was in a lifeboat like this when rescued. The Little Johnny yielded the largest vein of pure gold the Leadville mining community had ever seen.
