molly brown house museum
i really wanted to visit the molly brown house. i felt like we had been when i was in denver before and it turns out that i had!
molly brown is the wife of a man who struck gold in the denver gold rush at the turn of the 19th century. she went on to be a colorado congress woman and was nicknamed the "unsinkable" molly brown as she was one of the few who survived the Titanic.
the house is a traditional Victorian built in the stylish part of town back then. i loved how they were able to restore it using (very) old photographs of the rooms. it was fantastic to see how they were able to find similar pieces or get them back from the estate.
i thought the bedrooms were the most interesting. seeing how similar they are to ours now, but also so different in some ways. there really have been no major changes in the bathroom in over 100 years!
i thought the shop was pretty well done too. i ended up even getting something for my mother for christmas!
