In 1831, Luther Humphrey of the American Home Missionary Society organized the Presbyterian Church of Edwardsburg, describing the village as "a few log cabins...standing amongst the bushes and brush." Members worshipped in homes until the chapel was built in 1856. In 1923, Emily Coolidge Chapin of Chicago, a former Edwardsburg resident and the widow of iron entrepreneur Charles Chapin, donated money to renovate the church.
