The Molly Brown House Museum

The film “Titanic” was based on a true story. The majority of the characters portrayed in the film were actual people, some that lived, and some that died. Today’s FamSite is about one of more colorful passengers who survive Margaret Tobin Brown.

The Molly Brown House Museum is an online exhibit of the house and legend of Mrs. Brown. She is a lady who led a most interesting life, ranging from her being rescued by Mark Twain from a raft on the Mississippi River, to the gold mines of Colorado, to the Titanic. Her life was glamorized in movies by Debbie Reynolds as “The Unsinkable Molly Brown”, in wide-screen Technicolor, no less. Here you can learn about the real facts of her life, with pictures included.

The opportunity to see the home of one of the main characters in “Titanic” is not something one should miss. Point your browser over this way, and enjoy your visit.
