The First Presbyterian Church in Sallisaw, Oklahoma was created from the merger of a Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which had been founded in 1898, and a Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. The original building for the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, built in about 1903, had a steeple and a bell and its pastor during 187890456 to 1910 was "Uncle Jim" McDonald, or J.A. McDonald. Angus McDonald, his son, wrote of his father in the story "Old McDonald Had a Farm". The church burned in about 1916.[2]
The new merged church's building at 120 S. Oak Street(mailing address: PO Box 417) in Sallisaw was built in 1918. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1] It was built using plans modified from those of another First Presbyterian Church building completed in 1916 in Van Buren, Arkansas. It was built at cost of $17,500 and has a dome about 40 feet (12 m) tall.[2]
