Exeter Township Hall
Exeter was organized in 1836 and named for the New York birthplace of the township’s first postmaster, Henry Palmer. In 1890 local officials set aside five hundred dollars to build this hall. The Canada Southern Railway, which ran through the township, spurred Exeter’s logging, charcoal, and limestone industries. Bricks, barrels, and broomsticks were produced in Maybee and Scofield. The area outside the villages was farmland.
