This stunning historical courthouse crowns the Denton Square. Many have never been inside, and are missing out on seeing a Texas Treasure! If you are on the Square, go inside this stately county icon, built in 1895. It has a very educational museum that depicts days gone by. This is the 3rd courthouse in this location. Two others burned to the ground. And, founding father, John B. Denton is buried right outside of it. His tombstone states he was a lawyer, preacher and Indian fighter!

We have seen everything from Shrek the Musical to Shakespeare at the Campus Theatre and it has been a delight every time. There's no such thing as a bad seat in the house and We love getting to meet the actors and actresses after the shows. I had season tickets a few years ago so I was up there all the time. This past year I didn't have time for season tickets but look forward to getting them again soon when my kids are out of the house! Great time with friends! A memorable experience in live theatre!

I went because of the architect Mr. O'neil Ford. A famous architect in TX and the Southwest. He designed "The Tower of Americas, La Vilata, 26 buildings at Trinity University all in San Antonio and lots more. He grew up in Denton, got an education in Denton and returned to Denton after a very successful career. I was not disappointed!! Charming on the outside and a mini-cathedral inside. Beautiful!!!!!! For weddings...Perfect, soooo nice and intimate with preparation rooms on either side of the pulpit and Easy to find. Right in the shadow of the 2 Towers. Can't miss them. Parking is 100 yards away. During Covid you need an appointment. Worth the stop.

Theatre was clean and the staff was helpful. We went to see the Last Jedi just after it came out, before Christmas. The popcorn was fresh. Good clean environment. And watching a movie in a recliner is heaven.
