Booking Denton packages gives you plenty to do and see. First stop should be the Denton County Courthouse on the Square, a Baroque-styled building that is the final resting place of area founder John B. Denton. Bayless-Selby Museum and the Denton County African American Museum are two others that shouldn't be missed. When you stay in hotels in Denton, you are close to two major Texas universities— Texas Women's University and University of North Texas. Check out the Little Chapel in the Woods on the Texas Women's University campus. This tiny chapel was dedicated to Eleanor Roosevelt in 1939, and features stained glass windows and area artwork. Also try to see the ghost of "Goatman" on the iron through-truss Old Alton Bridge—if you dare.
