Denver at a Glance
The city of Denver is a child of the Gold Rush in the 1880s, making it one of
America's younger cities.
Despite the new city feel, Denver boasts a number of museums and historic sites.
Molly Brown—famous as a survivor of the Titanic and later as a respected philanthropist—made
Denver her adopted city and is considered one of the city's more famous residents.
The Molly
Brown House Museum is open for tours led by a costumed docent. The Denver
Art Museum brings national and international works to the city, boosting the
city's reputation for art and culture. Sports is also a major draw for visitors
to Denver; boasting seven professional sports teams, guests are sure to find a
match to enjoy, be it basketball, hockey, football or lacrosse. Denver's location
at the foot of the Rocky Mountains gives visitors and residents access to some
of the most spectacular hiking and camping in the United States.
