Black Horse Tavern fades as Frederick history closes its wall
Frederick Town's historic Black Horse Tavern on West Patrick Street, linked to Jacob J Schmidt and nearby figures like Barbara Fritchie, vanished after 1977 when Frederick County tore down the building. The site, tied to early court houses, the National Road era, and Civil War upheavals, now leaves little trace of the once bustling inn and its tales.
