The History Behind Historic Zoar Village
Established in 1817 by German Separatists seeking religious freedom, Zoar Village became a thriving communal society. For nearly 80 years, the Zoarites lived and worked together, sharing resources and responsibilities. Their unique way of life left a lasting mark on the village, and today, Zoar remains a well-preserved window into the 19th century.
The historic buildings, tales of the past, and fascinating ghost stories offer visitors a chance to step back in time and explore the community’s history and eerie legends. Zoar’s blend of rich history and haunted past makes it a must-see destination for history buffs and ghost hunters alike.
