Visit the Molly Brown House During a Twelve-Hour Virtual Road Trip Today

Take a quick trip without leaving town today. America's Summer Road Trip is a day-long, virtual road trip that promises viewers they'll "travel across the country and through our nation's history" as they take twelve live tours over the next twelve hours.

And Denver's Molly Brown House Museum is one of the sites; it will get its close-up at noon local time.
