Synopsis
A pictorial view of the Separatist community of Zoar
The community of Zoar has been a tourist attraction since it was founded in 1817, due in part to its uncommon experiment in Christian communal living, its German heritage, and its location on the Ohio & Erie Canal.
There is an unusually rich photographic record of the community and its people as well as many descriptions and comments by writers who wished to share their impressions of the Old World town.
Today a restored village with a ten-museum complex operated by the Ohio Historical Society, Zoar has consciously maintained its German roots. Zoar continues to attract the curious individual, the traveler, the day-tripper, and the magazine and newspaper writers of the day.

Andrew Joseph Pohl (1940-2017), of Henderson, Nevada, managed gift shop operations at the Dunes, the MGM Grand, and the Riviera casinos. Author Fernandez is the Ohio Historical Society's site manager at Zoar Village State Memorial. The "German character and communal organization" of the rural Ohio village of Zoar "were evident everywhere -- from its distinctive structures to the neatness and frugalness of its inhabitants. This aura attracted writers and photographers to Zoar who, in turn, left us with their impressions," she writes. The Zoar settlement iin Tuscarawas County existed from 1817 to 1898, making it one of the longer-lived communitarian efforts. Following the death of charismatic leader Joseph Bimeler in 1853 "the community of religious separatists from Wurtemburg went into a long decline which ended in 1898 when remaining members of the community shared in a division of its assets." 180 pp. including index.
