The church, according to the date stone, was erected in 1886. The stone is shaped like a diamond, is white and bears the name and date of the church. The date stone can be found just beneath the front gable and above a keystone over an upper window.
Here is yet another beautiful Lincoln Highway site in a small but authentically fifties town. The church is situated on the town's circle or rotary which is the town center or square. There are a couple of these circles to be found in these small towns on the way to Gettysburg.
There is also a bell/clock tower which towers over the town off to the left. The entire thing is made of brick. I think this clock tower is the nicest detail of this church. It is simply beautiful. Of course such a beautiful and old church neglected to make a website to tell of their history. Happens every time!
