The tavern was used as for approximately 65 years [4] before[ specify] 1909, the mill tract rented by William E. Myers was used as a Battle of Gettysburg field hospital.
Built in 1812 [5] along the 1791 Nichol's Gap Road ( c. 1869 Fairfield and Gettysburg Turnpike), [6] "Francis Bream purchased the farm and tavern in 1843." During the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg the intersection was a maneuver point for Confederate artillery [7] (the Hagerstown Road forded Marsh Creek). [8] A stone arch roadway bridge was subsequently built at the tavern [9] and in 1927, the highway near the structure was rerouted from over Bream's Hill to an excavation of the new Fairfield Road with a new bridge at "Plank's".

Gettysburg.
At length there came an order to turn back [toward Cashtown on July 2] and take another road around by Black Horse Tavern, and [I] have never forgotten that name since. My general recollection is that nearly three hours were lost in that delay and countermarch, and that it was about 4 P. M. when Hood became engaged heavily(Confederate artillery commander Alexander)
