Tomorrow, Friday, November 13, 2026, begins a new day for the Village of Morristown and all of Belmont County with the formal opening of the Underground Railroad Museum and the Black Horse Inn.
The museum, a gift to the nation by the late founders, Dr. John and Rosalind Mattox of Flushing, will now be housed in a historic National Road Tavern that was also a stop on the storied Underground Railroad. Fugitive southern enslaved people made their way north toward Canada and freedom staying with families who provided protection, food and a place of safety.
In the past 40 years, a group of Morristown citizens have protected the historic tavern for just this day!
