Currently operating as the Butler Church Museum, the former Methodist Episcopal Church was built in the Greek Revival style around 1836. The building sits on a cobblestone foundation and has an open belfry. The church was constructed of trees cut on site and milled at the local Viele’s sawmill. Considered to be the oldest Methodist Episcopal Church building in Wayne County still in existence, though it is no longer used as a congregational space.

The church held services until 1968, at which time, two services a year were offered until the 1980s when the building was sold to the Town of Butler for $1.00. In November of 2001, a group called the Butler Center Church Restoration Committee began emergency action to ready the church for the Winter. The building needed work to keep the interior from further damage. Projects to restore this historic church included securing the bell tower, repair of the deteriorated of the south wall, trussing and tarping of the back kitchen area, which had collapsed the previous winter. New wiring, heating system, sanding of floors and doors, and cleaning and refinishing of the pews was also accomplished on the interior. A new roof was installed, broken windows replaced, and large bushes in front of the church were removed.

A great employment of elbow grease and fundraising went into the restoration of this historic building, now operated as the Butler Church Museum by the Butler Historical Preservation Society.

Also on the property, but not part of the National Register designation is the Butler Center Cemetery.
