Historic Denver

Our mission is to safeguard the soul of our city through education, advocacy, and leadership to preserve and honor Denver’s unique identity for all generations. As our signature restoration, the Molly Brown House Museum exemplifies Historic Denver’s mission. When a grassroots group of Denver citizens joined together in 1970 to save the celebrated historic home of “unsinkable” Molly Brown from demolition, Historic Denver was born. Our recent work includes restoration at the Molly Brown House Museum; protecting the home of Denver’s first African-American architect; advocating for the special scale and character of Larimer Square, our city’s first historic district; and honoring and reinvesting in diverse historic places, from La Alma Lincoln Park to RiNo.
