We've been outside on the square many times and never knew the inside of the courthouse was a museum. We enjoyed all three floors and their artifacts. We ended the tour with a molding clay activity near the children's play store.

Let me preface this comment by saying that I am not a Denton native, having been born in Greeley, Colorado in the 1960s; however, our family moved to Texas so that my father, a college professor could take a job in Houston at the University of Houston; likewise, my entire family moved to north Texas so he could take a position teaching educational foundations at Texas Woman’s University here in Denton. As fate would have it, I attended public schools in Denton, graduating from Denton High School and then turning around and and going to University of N. Texas, graduating Magna cum Laude in 1985. Education has always been stressed in our family as a means of moving up in the world. After graduating from University of Houston with my MBA and Ph.D. in Business Administration, Organizational Behavior - Management, I went overseas to Christchurch, New Zealand, where I contacted the deadly disease meningoccemia septicemia, which turned to gangrene, resulting in quadrilateral amputations. I now am very fortunate to be living in N. Denton, in disabled accessible duplex with the significant amount of assistance from three caregivers, working in shifts. Am so glad we haven’t forgotten Denton’s rich Wild West history and this is preserved and on display downtown, despite the protests of the political Left. I, for one, am quite proud to call the city I love, and where I spent a great portion of childhood home. Cheers, Mark C. Fearing, Ph.D?
