Every day, we work to connect the past to the present and future, championing an informed and holistic approach to the evolution of the city we love. Support us in telling the story of our city.
Created to save the home of Margaret “Molly” Brown in 1970, Historic Denver has become the city’s foremost voice advocating for the places and buildings that matter the most. Our diverse range of activities includes educational programming, walking tours, holding easements on over 70 of Denver’s most treasured buildings, offering technical assistance to property owners and communities, interpreting the legacy of Margaret Brown, and advocating for the retention of places and buildings that are important to their communities. In partnership with the City and County of Denver, we also administer Discover Denver, a citywide survey focused on identifying the buildings that are important to our history and communities. Our goal is to empower people to cherish Denver’s history and to assist decision-makers in ensuring that the city’s past is part of its future.
A great and enduring city is no accident. Denver's destiny will be defined by the tension between bold action and thoughtful planning; between EUREKA! and ordinary. Historic Denver plays an invaluable role in informing and facilitating that negotiation. Join me in supporting Historic Denver as a member or donor. - Susan Barnes-Gelt
Deepen Your Engagement:
Historic Denver, Inc. exists to empower people to actively experience and thoughtfully maintain our city's cultural landmarks and historic places today and long into the future.
In 1970, citizens stepped forward to create Historic Denver, which first focused on saving the Molly Brown House Museum from demolition and then went on to citywide efforts. Historic Denver remains the city's leading preservation organization and, as a private, supporter-driven non-profit, we work to protect and promote the places that add to our quality of life, spur economic development and engender pride of place.
Our preservation advocacy work seeks to find economically viable and community-centered solutions to the issues that arise in the places where growth and preservation meet. We bring ideas, contacts and resources to the table based on our decades of experience in preservation.
The Molly Brown House Museum works to interpret the legacy of the philanthropist, activist, and Titanic survivor, including the many causes she championed which remain hugely relevant today, such as the right to vote and employee rights.
