The buildings and grounds on the almost 4-acre parcel of land are part of the Historic Webster Village located just north of Farrell Road in the 5500 block of Webster Church Road outside of Dexter, MI. On this property are 7 buildings surrounded by beautiful grounds that are owned and maintained by the WTHS: (1) Crossroads Community Center, built in 1867; (2) Wheeler Wheelwright & Blacksmith Shop, built in the mid-1870s; (3) Podunk School, built in 1846; (4) Old Township Hall, built in 1871; (5) May Mast’s Old North Barn, built in the 1940s; (6) Kleinschmidt General Store, a replica, built in 2005; (7) Dieterle’s Corncrib, a music stage built in 2016 to honor the memory of a talented musician. In addition, May’s Memorial Garden in the center of our village green showcases plants from 1750-1850, reflecting the time period of the buildings surrounding it.

WTHS membership is open to anyone interested in Webster Township, Dexter, MI, history and our Historic Webster Village. Member meetings are the second Tuesday of every month, except July and August when no meeting is scheduled, featuring interesting programs. Our annual membership meeting is a picnic on the second Tuesday of June each year. We not only enjoy a picnic dinner–with ice cream sundaes–but also finalize the results of the annual election of members of the Board of Directors and/or Officers. December is our Holiday Party at which we enjoy a potluck dinner, games, and conversation. We look forward to welcoming you to our Society. Please click here for our membership form.
