Zoar is located in eastern Ohio in Tuscarawas County 30 miles south of Akron and 10 miles north of New Philadelphia on the banks of the Tuscarawas River. The town, whose name means "a sanctuary from evil", is noted for being founded by German religious dissenters called the "Society of Separatists of Zoar" in 1817 as a communal society. Today, the hamlet is an island of Old-World charm. Visitors can experience the life of the agrarian society by visiting the ten restored buildings (Number One House, Kitchen/Magazine Complex, Bimeler Museum, Garden House, Bakery, Tin Shop, Dairy, Wagon Shop, Blacksmith Shop, and Zoar Store) which are staffed with interpreters in period garb and furnished with items made or used by the Separatists.
