Tour the home of the Titanic survivor who talked her way into the lifeboat
The unsinkable one's actual house
The preserved Denver townhouse of Margaret Brown, who survived the Titanic, argued her lifeboat back toward the wreck to look for survivors, and spent the rest of her life on suffrage and labour causes.
Why it's unique
It is her actual house, furnished to her occupancy, and it was very nearly demolished — the museum exists because a preservation campaign saved it in the 1970s, which is also how Historic Denver came to exist.
The house works against the story most people arrive with. 'The Unsinkable Molly Brown' was a nickname invented after her death, and the woman who lived here was a serious political operator rather than the character in the musical.
Before you go
It is a guided tour on a timed ticket rather than a wander, so check times before turning up.
Ask about the campaigning rather than the Titanic. The ship occupies about two hours of a long and consequential life, and the guides are visibly pleased when someone wants the rest.
