This building and surrounding land was used as a church since it was built in 1884.

Prior to construction, church members formed as the Methodist Episcopal Church of Morse in 1883 and met in the Burr Oak School at 151st Street and Switzer Road. They engaged architects Divelbiss and Stratton of Olathe to design the building and George McCaughey of Morse built the church at a cost of $1,927.13, which included the interior furniture and fixtures.

It served as a Methodist church from 1884 to 1985, when the church and land was given to the Blue Valley Historical Society, which in turn deeded the property to the Overland Park Historical Society in 1998.

The church has hosted several meetings of the Overland Park Historical Society, which has provided educational programs about the community of Morse by displaying artifacts and arranging tours for children from nearby Morse Elementary School.

The church is a wood frame structure with no significant architectural elements or embellishments on the structure, except for a steeple that stands approximately five feet above the roof.

The Overland Park Historical Society used to meet in the building; however, they have sold the property to a church, who is holding services in the building.

The new church, Morse Church, will be required to have Planning Commission and Landmarks Commission approval for any exterior work.
