The village of White Horse grew up around the intersection of Goshen and Providence Roads beginning in the late eighteenth century. Providence Road, which crosses the village in a northwest-southeast direction, was first laid out in 1710 from the City of Chester to Willistown Township. The White Horse Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
“The Blacksmith Shop sits at the northwest corner of Providence Road. The charm of the stone building is most evident after a snowfall when snow even makes its way onto the protrusion of the rocks in the building. I particularly enjoyed painting the wet roadway sprinkled with leftover bits of snow.”
