Did you know?


Historic Denver was founded 40 years ago by a group of citizens concerned with saving the Molly Brown House from demolition. The same group oversaw the historic home's restoration, and today, the Molly Brown House Museum attracts 50,000 visitors each year. 

40 Years of Preservation

Historic Denver is 40, and we’re waxing sentimentally.  Hasn’t preservation always been about identity? If this is your home, every one of Denver’s historic buildings, streets and stories belongs to you. When you enjoy a downtown dinner or baseball game or street fair, the grand facades and bricks and character speak to you. That’s why you are Historic Denver. Now that we’re an organization of a certain age, we don’t mind telling it like it is. And how it is, is that Denver is a great place to call home. For this, we take some credit, but not without a nod to the members who have made us tick for four decades.

Please help us continue the great tradition of preserving a great city.  Become a member today!
