The Salem Walker Cemetery, surrounded by an ornamental iron fence dating from 1909, contains graves dating back to 1834. Statement of Significance The Salem Methodist Episcopal Church is among the least altered Greek Revival churches in Michigan. The church was dedicated in 1864 with a congregation of 25 people and continued services until 1912. The Salem Walker Cemetery association, formed in 1908, contacted the Methodist conference in 1930 about purchasing the then-abandoned church. The Church was sold to the association for two hundred dollars in 1931. The building is used to generate maintenance money by renting the space for weddings and local gatherings.
