GENERAL MOLLY BROWN HOUSE MUSEUM INFORMATION

Molly Brown has been the subject of many books, movies and stage productions, and has become one of Denver's most intriguing legends. Margaret moved to Leadville, Colorado when she was 19 years old in search of adventure and wealth. While in Leadville, she caught the eye of mining superintendent James Joseph (J.J.) Brown and they were married shortly after. The couple's ship came in when the mine J.J. was in charge of struck the largest vein of gold ever found in Colorado. After the gold strike, Margaret and her family purchased the exquisite Victorian home at 1340 Pennsylvania Street. Margaret was an amazing and spirited woman and became active in the women's suffrage movement, labor reform efforts and the Modern Art Movement. Unfortunately, after her death in 1932 her Victorian home was sold and used for many different functions. By 1970 the house had fallen prey to deterioration, and was in danger of being demolished. A group of concerned citizens incorporated themselves as Historic Denver, Inc. and fought to save and restore the Brown home. Today, you can see the efforts of their work in the completely restored Victorian mansion. The Molly Brown House Museum, 1340 Pennsylvania Street, is a celebrated Denver landmark.
