Built in 1836 by the Methodist Episcopal Congregation, this is the oldest known Methodist Church in Wayne County, NY. The church operated continually until the 1960's when declining membership and funds forced its closure. The church, now home to the Butler Church Museum, is on the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places. Roe Cobblestone Schoolhouse
