The town hub of Dexter is perched on the edge of 1,170 acre Lake Wassookeag, which provides the primary water source for the town's water system, as well as a variety of recreational opportunities.  

Dexter is a historic town, with five separate buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including; the Grist Mill, the Bank Bloc, Zion's Hill, the Abbott Memorial Library, and the Universalist Church. Today, the Grist Mill is a museum and home to the Dexter Historical Society.
