Victorian Holiday Fun at Historic Denver Tours’ Molly Brown Event | Events

Historic Denver Tours offers a festive window into Denver’s rich cultural past with their Annual Girl Scout Holiday Party at the Molly Brown House Museum. Located in the city's historic Capitol Hill neighborhood, the museum was once home to Margaret "Molly" Brown, famed for surviving the Titanic disaster and her vibrant role in early 20th century Denver society. These Victorian walls and period furnishings provide a tangible, immersive backdrop for this unique holiday celebration.

During the event, Girl Scouts aged 6 and up get hands-on with traditional Victorian holiday activities—think crafting, storytelling, and festive games—that bring Molly Brown’s family Christmas traditions to life. Every corner of the museum is alive with history and genuine Victorian charm, inviting kids and adults alike to engage deeply with the past. An exclusive Molly Brown House Museum Winter Patch awaits scouts who complete this program, which also helps fulfill requirements for the "Playing the Past" badge.

What sets this annual party apart is its intimate scale: limited group sizes ensure an up-close experience with historic artifacts and interactive stations, avoiding the typical crowded museum event feel. Guests move through themed activity stops, soaking in the lore and seasonal spirit without distraction. The two-day event in December offers staggered entry times to maintain this personalized vibe.

For families or scout troops visiting Denver, this event blends a cultural outing with a festive celebration that offers educational depth alongside joyful holiday fun. It’s a standout option for those looking to connect with Denver’s historic fabric beyond the usual outdoor trails and parks, adding rich layers to your local adventure portfolio. Bookings require advance payment with limited spots available each year, emphasizing quality and safety.

Historic Denver Tours enrich the city’s outdoor recreation scene by linking cultural heritage with community celebration, enhancing appreciation for local history amid Denver’s dazzling mountain backdrop.
