History

Salem Presbyterian Church is a historic church in Washington College, Limestone, Tennessee, affiliated with the Holston Presbytery and Presbyterian Church (USA).

The congregation was formed in 1780 under the leadership of Reverend Samuel Doak. It was the first Presbyterian church established in the area that later became the state of Tennessee. The congregation served the adjacent Washington College for many years before becoming a separate congregation.

Construction of the church's current building began in 1894. Its sanctuary has several large stained glass windows. It was designed by architect A. Page Brown.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. It was also included as a contributing property in the Washington College Historic District, which was listed in 2002.
