A pretty and ancient little church with active cemetary grounds just North of Ajax on Salem road. The church is impossible to access but the cemertary grounds are open. There are some VERY old graves, particualrily in the western part of the graveyard across from the church.

It's historical value is what makes it interesting.
There are gates in the drive with a plaque on the history of the church.
Overall, very photo-esque

"Located approx. two km. south of the founding of Pickering Township. The Salem Church and Cemetery were est. on land donated by Mr. John Adamson. Built originally as a wooden structure in 1849, the church served the Wesleyan Methodist congregation. In 1880, brick veneering was added. Bricks for this undertaking were made in Mr. Adamson's brickyard which was located immediately to the west side of the property. Regrettably, the church closed in 1890. The cemetery continued to serve the local community and land was added at various times as the need arose. To commemorate the 150th anniversary, new entrance gates were erected."
