First Presbyterian Church of Jefferson, also known as Maple Museum, is a historic Presbyterian church located in Jefferson, Schoharie County, New York. It was built in 1837, and is a two-story, heavy timber frame, Greek Revival style meeting house style church. It has a front gable roof, flush board siding, and Doric order pediment and entablature. The front facade features a square staged bell tower. The church closed in 1919, and has since been used as a school, American Legion hall, and most recently as a community center and local history museum.[2]: 5 

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[1]
