The Bayless-Shelby House, part of Denton County’s Historical Park, offers lectures, guided and self-guided tours, teacher workshops and more, all for free. Operating Tuesday through Saturday in the summer and Wednesday through Saturday in the winter, the Bayless-Shelby House gives visitors a glimpse of what life was like in rural Texas 100 years ago. Originally a small farmhouse built in 1882, the home was expanded in 1898 into the two-story Victorian Queen Anne visitors tour today and still contains original furnishings and the Daughtry Collection of hand-painted porcelain.
