Denton County Courthouse-on-the-Square Museum reopens, features new patriotic exhibit

The Denton County Courthouse-on-the-Square Museum reopened on Dec. 15 after being closed for roughly two years for renovations and now features a new exhibit, according to a news release from Denton County.

What's happening?

The exhibit has replicas of the family homes of several United States presidents, including Lyndon B. Johnson, Herbert Hoover, Martin Van Buren, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower and John Adams.

The replicas on display in the courthouse are on loan from the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas.

“During a tour this past summer at the George W. Bush Library, I saw the replicas and immediately asked if it were possible to have them at our museum in Denton County,” County Judge Andy Eads said in the release. “Our Denton County Office of History and Culture staff worked closely with the National Archives and the library officials to make that happen.”

The exhibit will be on display until Feb. 16, 2026.
