Black Horse Tavern, Colonial tavern in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.
The Black Horse Tavern stands at the intersection of Pennsylvania Route 116, featuring a sturdy stone construction with a classical two-story architectural design.
Established in 1794, the tavern served as a strategic location during the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, where Confederate artillery forces positioned their operations.
The tavern functioned as a central meeting point for local residents and travelers, providing food, drinks, and accommodation for over six decades.
Located near modern hotels including Double Tree Pittsburgh and Courtyard Pittsburgh Airport Settlers Ridge, the tavern maintains its original structural elements.
The property spans half an acre and earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in March 1978 for its architectural significance.
