This stunning historical courthouse crowns the Denton Square. Many have never been inside, and are missing out on seeing a Texas Treasure! If you are on the Square, go inside this stately county icon, built in 1895. It has a very educational museum that depicts days gone by. This is the 3rd courthouse in this location. Two others burned to the ground. And, founding father, John B. Denton is buried right outside of it. His tombstone states he was a lawyer, preacher and Indian fighter!
3. Bayless-Selby House Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 30 reviews
The walls of this Victorian style house museum tell the story of life in Denton at the turn-of-the-century. The story of Denton County prior to 1908 is told through the music room with the E. Gabler & Bro. grand piano, the elegantly set dining room table, and the majesty of the Eastlake-style adult bedroom suite. From the moment visitors step on the garden grounds or the wrap around porch, the walls of the Bayless-Selby House museum begin their story.

A nice Victorian home, along with a few other historic homes. This park has great potential, and is not elaborate, and the houses are worth stopping to see. There is convenient free parking. Just two blocks west of the Town Square, down the same street with the Campus Theater.

We have seen everything from Shrek the Musical to Shakespeare at the Campus Theatre and it has been a delight every time. There's no such thing as a bad seat in the house and We love getting to meet the actors and actresses after the shows. I had season tickets a few years ago so I was up there all the time. This past year I didn't have time for season tickets but look forward to getting them again soon when my kids are out of the house! Great time with friends! A memorable experience in live theatre!

Went here to check out the new place and watch the games. Had some apps....WONDERFUL! I don't like queso but their white queso is kickass!!! Chili cheese fries were also amazing! (and I don't typically like that either) Let my kids pick whatever they wanted (hence fries and chips) which they also topped it off with "Not your birthday chocolate cake". OMG...soooo good! Since the cake was that good, we had to give the bread pudding a shot. we got it with ice cream and whiskey sauce-AMAZING!!! Had some good local beers on tap. (Get more non-IPAs, please!) still a good selection. Wasn't too crowded and wasn't empty either. A PERFECT PLACE TO WATCH THE GAME!! Waitress, Paige, is great and super sweet!! Will be back! Thanks for opening again!!!!

Theatre was clean and the staff was helpful. We went to see the Last Jedi just after it came out, before Christmas. The popcorn was fresh. Good clean environment. And watching a movie in a recliner is heaven.
