The Story of the Black Horse Inn is Deeply Intertwined
with the Story of America Itself.

Red historic brick building with awnings and shutters

Constructed in 1807, the inn witnessed the growth of Ohio into a critical crossroads of commerce, transportation, and opportunity. Located in the village of Morristown, Belmont County, Ohio, the Black Horse Inn is one of the oldest buildings in Belmont County and one of the earliest documented inns along the National Road corridor in Ohio. Today, it remains one of the last surviving stagecoach stops in the state.

Situated along the original National Road, America’s first federally funded highway, the inn served travelers, settlers, merchants, and stagecoach passengers moving westward during the nation’s expansion.
