Come be a part of history this year at the historic village of Zoar, Ohio. One hundred ninety years ago a group of German Separatists founded the Village of Zoar in the Tuscarawas River Valley of Ohio.  In 1817 they left Germany and came to the United States seeking religious freedom.  Later they formed a communal society that lasted for 79 years, and was one of the most successful communal societies in the United States. Today, many of the buildings the Separatists built still line the main street of the historic village including the Town Hall.  The Zoar Community Association refurbished the Town Hall and operates a Museum where visitors can learn about the history of Zoar and view videos about the Separatists and the Ohio & Erie Canal which the group helped construct.  An audio self-guided tour CD can be rented at the Town Hall so guests can tour Zoar at a leisurely pace.  Call 330-874-2646 for more information.
