The Molly Brown House Museum is a must-visit for those who want to learn more about the life of one of America's most famous socialites. Molly Brown was an American socialite, philanthropist, and activist who became well-known for surviving the sinking of the Titanic. Her story has been immortalized in Broadway plays and movies, and the Molly Brown House is one of the most popular attractions in Denver. However, Margaret Brown's life was much more than surviving the Titanic. During the tour of her home with knowledgeable guides, you can hear her incredible story and learn about her family and their integral roles in her life, especially her husband, J.J. Brown. Margaret Brown was not just a survivor but also a mother, wife, philanthropist, suffragist, and actress. Her story is much bigger than anything you have seen in the movies.
