The ideal setting for events of all types and sizes.

Following World War I, a group of veterans met at the rectory of St. Thomas Church in Fort Washington, PA. The old “Auger Mill” became the home of William Boulton Dixon Lodge to honor the late local hero of World War I. William Boulton Dixon was born in Philadelphia and graduated from Princeton University in 1915. He enlisted at the outbreak of the war and was commissioned a first lieutenant. Dixon was killed by a direct hit of a German field gun near Thiaucourt, France, on October 17, 1918. William’s brother, Fitz Eugene Dixon, married Eleanor Widener. There is a rich history related to Whitemarsh Valley Event Center with the Dixon, Boulton, and Widener families. The current location was purchased for the post in 1936 by the Dixon family and donated to the Home Association. After several years of relatively slow growth and then a bit of physical neglect, the building underwent a revitalization. The revitalization was initiated by former Commander Harry J. Gobora and currently under the leadership of Gobora and Home Association Chairman Ted McLaughlin. Whitemarsh Valley Event Center is situated on the crest of Fort Hill, directly north of a small Revolutionary fort. The hill directly behind the hall was used as an encampment site for soldiers of the Continental Line who were manning the small fort next to our southern boundary, as well as other militia units.
