Black Horse Tavern - Gettyburg

Jack made a visit to Gettysburg back in 2010 with his son and became fascinated with the various fences and buildings he came across.

One was the Black Horse Tavern which served as a hospital for confederate wounded following the Battle of Gettysburg.

Jack decided that we should have a 28mm scale building of the Tavern for our ACW games and scratch built this.  As usual, all of the roof tiles are indiviually cut and stuck on!
