Samuel A. Bayless and his wife, Mary, came to Denton from Munroe County, Tennessee. In 1884, he purchased a 2 room farmhouse, the one-story part of the museum. Later, they built a two-story Victorian Queen Anne style addition. Samuel died in 1919. Mary sold the house in 1922 R. L. Selby Sr., in his wife, Mary. The Selby family retained ownership until 1970. The house was moved from 1301 Myrtle Street, in 1998. After restoration, the house opened as the Bayless Selby House Museum in 2001.
