It is very old and probably should be a historical site of some kind. According to the information that I received at the PA room at the Hanover Library, it's actual name was the Mt. Zion United Brethren Church and it was created around 1859. The bricks that make up the building (which is no longer used and is boarded up) where made hand made by Jacob Wentz, the father of the 3 Wentz brothers who established the church. A fourth brother, Jacob, became a minister of the church. Services were held there regularly for about 75 years. The church and the cemetery are now preserved as a memorial by a cemetery association.
