ABOUT OUR EVENTS

Molly Brown House Museum

Historic Denver saved the Molly Brown House from demolition in 1970, and has operated it as a House Museum since then. Proudly it is one of only a handful of historic sites dedicated to Women’s History. The Museum interprets and preserves the legacy of Margaret “Molly” Tobin Brown’s life so that current and future generations may understand and appreciate the social, economic, and political aspects of Victorian life in Denver. Enjoy a tour or one of  the many interesting and entertaining events offered at the museum  and know that you are supporting Historic Denver’s mission and ensuring the Molly Brown House’s future.

Empowered By Place

Historic Denver hosts Empowered By Place virtually four times a year.

Empowered by Place is a conversation about how Denver’s historic places play an important role in our present. Fueled by current issues, we’ll unpack some of the pressing issues by discussing with local experts and encouraging our audience to take part in the dialogue.

These free programs have taken place virtually since 2021, and recordings of past programs are available on our YouTube channel.

Keep an eye on our Facebook page for future event invitations.

Select past forums are available on Historic Denver’s YouTube Channel.

Annual Awards Dinner

Every year, Historic Denver hosts our Annual Dinner and Awards at the Historic Brown Palace in Downtown Denver. We honor three individuals instrumental in historic preservation in Denver, and several community preservation awards. More than 400 civic leaders, community members, and design/construction/real estate professionals attend the always sold-out event, making it the largest fundraising event for Historic Denver each year.
