Dexter Knights of Columbus 2959

The Dexter Council was established in 1946 with 52 Charter Members. Martin Farrell was elected the First Grand Knight. The Council owned a building downtown which housed Ziegler's Meat Market on the ground floor, and the KofC Hall above it. The building was next to the present day Dexter Pharmacy. The rent from the meat market paid the mortgage. In 1978 through the efforts of many of the members, a new hall was built on Dexter-Chelsea Rd. As of 2009 the Council has a membership of over 160 men.
