Bayless-Selby House Museum

Samuel A. Bayless and his wife, Mary, came to Denton from Monroe County, Tennessee. In 1884, he purchased a two-room farmhouse, the one-story part of the house. Later, they built a two story Victorian Queen Anne-style addition. Samuel died in 1919. Mary sold the house in 1920 to R.L. Selby Sr. and his wife, Mary. The Selby family retained ownership until 1970. The house was moved from 1301 Myrtle Street, Denton in 1998. After restoration, the house opened as the Bayless-Selby House Museum in 2001.
