DEXTER AREA MUSEUM

Picture
Located in the Village of Dexter, Michigan, the Dexter Area Historical Museum serves as western Washtenaw County's link with history. The museum is housed in the former St. Andrew's United Church of Christ, built in 1883. The building was moved one block to the corner of Inverness and Fourth streets, to allow the construction of the current St. Andrew's. In addition to numerous artifacts, the museum contains a large display area, a genealogical library, a local history library, and the Corner Gift Shop.

​Corner Gift Shop
​
The Dexter Heritage Guild is the fundraising group for the Dexter Historical Society Museum.  They host two major events yearly.   The Guild’s main fundraiser is the Museum’s Holiday Bazaar, held the first Saturday in December.   The bazaar includes handcrafted items for the whole family, plus a delicious bake sale.   In the spring the Guild hosts appraisers from DuMouchelles Art Gallery in Detroit at the museum.   Customers can get their antique items appraised for a very reasonable fee.
​

The Guild welcomes new members and/or volunteers who enjoy crafting and meeting new friends.  Meetings are at the Museum on the 3rd and 4th Wednesdays from January until the beginning of September.   From September until the second week of November, meetings are every Wednesday.
For more information call president Pat Pudduck at (734) 426-8952.
