   Photographic Inventory

Willow Grove Methodist Episcopal Church
Willow Grove, Pittsgrove Township, Salem County

The siding is aluminum, but the window and door surrounds are original and quite characteristic of the period. This fairly simple meetinghouse-style church was erected in 1880. The church was organized about 1803 and the first meetinghouse was built in 1823 when the area was called Fork Bridge or Fork Mills.
