Historic Webster Village is composed of seven historic buildings and is located at 5583 Webster Church Road in Webster Township just outside of Dexter, Michigan. It is owned and maintained by the Webster Township Historical Society. Donations and membership dues provide the funds for maintaining these historic buildings.

Through years of tireless and selfless effort on the part of many individuals and organizations, Historic Webster Village is preserved in a state much as it was in the late 1800s. This Village gives one a sense of strong and steadfast life values and an abundant measure of community pride all nurtured in tranquility. It is truly a treasure to be enjoyed!

- Our grounds are often used by groups of fresh-air painters, for festivals, flea markets and bazaars, as a back-drop for graduation photos, or as a site for holiday greeting card photos.
- Podunk School, a one-room, award winning structure, would be the perfect place for school children to visit and sped a day in the late 1800s.
- The Old Town Hall would be an ideal site in which a Civics class could hold a “township meeting” as in days gone by.
- May’s Old North Barn can be rented for square or contra dancing. With it’s sky blue ceiling and electric lighting, a farm market or family reunion could be held inside.
- Our Crossroads Community Center is the perfect place for classes/workshops, birthday or anniversary parties, wedding or baby showers, and much more.

Baker Woods Preserve has a mixture of forests and meadows. It is also home to the Chelsea District Library's Storybook Trail. The Storybook Trail displays a children's book along a nature trail, allowing for an interesting experience for hiking and reading outdoors. The Storybook trail is updated seasonally and is recommended for kids of all ages.

Another attractive site nature feature is Mill Creek, which traverses the property from north to south. The creek banks are in good condition and the creek itself is well shaded by adjacent vegetation. The site has a varied topography with especially steep slopes along the course of the creek. A parking lot and trails for public access were constructed in 2014.

- Acres: 70
- Trail Length: 1.10 miles (Natural ground, unimproved)

The Manchester Tour de Barn Quilts is the first of a group of eco-tourism activities being planned featuring the Village of Manchester and surrounding natural areas. This self-guided bike tour is on rural roads beginning and ending in the parking lot at Manchester High School.

The tour travels bucolic byways to look at barn quilts, which are large, colorful quilt blocks on the sides of barns, as well as other historic barns and churches, a farm stand, a Ford mill, and the charming Village of Manchester. The route is 14 to 26 miles long. Included too is an optional 6 mile loop.

Manchester Tour de Barn Quilts

Remnants of Manchester's glory days are still discernable in its well-preserved streetscape and elegant private homes. The River Raisin (named after the wild grapes that grew along its banks), spawned three dams that powered mills and factories. Trains came in every half hour from one of the two railroad lines passing through Manchester. As new forms of production and transportation replaced river and rail travel during the 20th century, Manchester's glory days ended, but it has continued as an agricultural and industrial center with a strong sense of history.

Travel to such sites as the Manchester Mill, the Whistle Stop, and Old Village Hall. Please see the website for more information.
