The Molly Brown House Museum Speakeasy Cocktail Party will feature 1920s style cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, jazz and tours of the Museum's Roaring Twenties exhibit.

Margaret Tobin Brown, heroine of the "Titanic," was an active part of the Roaring Twenties. She lived in New York, performed on stage and even ran for the US Senate. Winning the right to vote in 1920, women bobbed their hair, shortened their dresses, headed to the office and enjoyed the night life created by an underground network of speakeasy bars. Cities were bursting with activity created by modern conveniences like the car, the skyscraper and the motion picture.

The Roaring Twenties exhibit at the Molly Brown House Museum recreates this opulent era in the Brown's historic home, presenting the fashions and conventions of the day. Art deco furniture and dcor, reproduction photographs as well as stylish handbags, jewelry, short dresses, suits and hats are on display while liquor bottles, jazz music, and photographs highlight the nightlife of the era.
