15 Best Things To Do in Denton, Texas

About Denton

Let’s tell you about a city that has a delectable cuisine scene, a happening arts culture, and two universities. Situated in Texas, Denton is a wonderful city that hasn’t been spoiled by the ugly by-products of the metropolitan sprawls.

In fact, the Little Chapel in the Woods in Denton is such a peaceful and mesmerizing place that it was named the best wedding venue from 2014 to 2017. But if you’re not in the matrimonial mood, head over to the Texas First Ladies Historic Costume Collection, which features the clothes worn by US first ladies.

To spice things up, the costumes are changed and added throughout the year to make sure no visit is the same. That calls for multiple visits to the museum!
