One of these, initially known as Adrian meeting, evolved into the Raisin Valley Friends.

Raisin Valley Friends initially worshipped in a log cabin located near the present church property, but by 1834 the congregation had grown large enough that a permanent meeting place was called for.

Local settler David Baker made a six-acre parcel available, and the congregation raised $800 (~$23,628 in 2023) to build this church, which opened in 1835.

The Raisin Valley Friends Meetinghouse is a single story clapboarded structure with simple corner boards, a thin classical cornice with returns, and a gable roof.
