==History==
The first settlers in Salem Township arrived in 1825. The first burial in the Salem Walker Cemetery took place in 1834.〔 The congregation of the Salem Methodist Episcopal Church formed in the mid-19th century, and met at various places in the township until the 25 members constructed a church adjacent to the cemetery in 1864. The congregation grew to about 60 by 1880, but later declined.〔 Services continued at the church until 1912, after which the congregation abandoned it. In 1908, the Salem Walker Cemetery association founded to care for the cemetery and in 1930, it contacted the Methodist conference about purchasing the church. The next year, the Association purchased the church for $200. The church building is rented for weddings and other gatherings.〔
In 2012, scenes for the movie ''The Five-Year Engagement'' were filmed at the church.
