Webster Township Historical Society

Mission: To preserve, promote and bring to life the history of Webster Township through the preservation and sharing of its buildings, archives, and artifacts, and connecting to the community through programs and activities.

WTHS brings together those people interested in the history of the area to foster community appreciation for that which shaped the character of Webster and to discover and preserve significant artifacts and information illustrative of life in Webster Township. Acknowledging that every generation bestows a life-style legacy upon succeeding generations, our primary focus is on the rescue, care, and preservation of historical accounts, buildings, and artifacts to share with and help educate future generations.

Located just north of Farrell Road in the 5500 block of Webster Church Road outside of Dexter, MI, the buildings and grounds on the almost 4-acre parcel of land are part of the Historic Webster Village. These 7 buildings and the grounds that surround them are owned and maintained by the Webster Township Historical Society (WTHS). Volunteers organize programs and events based on preserving the history of Webster Township. Historic artifacts from throughout the township are displayed in original buildings brought together to create a Village environment. Programs include activities such as the Webster Fall Festival, ice cream socials, music and art festivals, demonstrations of historic farm equipment and educational folk art programs.
