Methodist Episcopal Society of Tyringham (or the Union Church and Parsonage) is a historic church at 128-130 Main Road in Tyringham, Massachusetts. The property includes a Greek Revival church building built in 1844, and a parsonage house next door. The house was built around the same time as the church as a private residence, and was only later acquired for use as a parsonage. The church is a large single-story wood frame structure on a marble foundation. Its tower rises to a height of 70 feet (21 m) in square tiered stages. The parsonage is a modest 1-1/2 story gable-front structure, with a single-story ell (a 20th-century addition) extending to the south. Between 1844 and 1907, the church was also used for town meetings.[2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
