Denton is known for its vibrant community, love of music and commitment to small town culture. As you spend the next few years here, you'll slowly start to discover new things about the city. Here are some must-sees that might not have been on your radar before, but can help you feel like a true Dentonite:
The Chairy Orchard
The Chairy Orchard is one of the most unique attractions you will see in your life. The place was created by Judy and Ann, a.k.a. the chairy fairies, who have collected all the chairs on display. The Chairy Orchard contains every type of chair you can imagine from a salon style dryer chair to wheelchairs, straight back chairs, rocking chairs, baby chairs - you name the chair, chances are they have it. The Chairy Orchard even brings out special chairs for seasons or holidays!
