Inscription. Horn Tavern Springs About 1809, an enterprising young man built a tavern at this location. It was called Horn Tavern because of its unique sign. Animals were painted on both sides of the door which was topped with large elk, deer, ram, buffalo and oxen horns. During an Indian attack, the tavern was reportedly saved from being torched because of the strange sign. Ale and whiskey from horned cups, as well as food and lodging, were likely provided to early travelers on the Franklin to Charlotte Road. Located nearby upon the headwaters of Brush Creek, Horn Tavern Springs served as the major water source from the city of Fairview from 1963 until 1991, furnishing 100.000 gallons a day.
