The Small Town In Ohio You’ve Never Heard Of But Will Fall In Love With
Ohio is full of little-known, historic villages that are unbelievably charming.
The small town of Zoar, Ohio is a historic German village most people in the state (surprisingly) don’t know about. Beautifully preserved and full of fun places to explore, you’ll fall in love with this little-known town. Take a look:

The village of Zoar has more than 50 of the original historic structures and buildings still standing today. Consequently, the town has preserved much of its old world charm.

The Bicentennial will include updates to current town exhibits, the re-opening of the Bimeler House as the Bimeler Art Gallery, several special events, a Zoar-focused speaker series and much more.

About 75 families live in the town's charming homes, built from 1817 to the present.

Other museum buildings in the town owned by the Ohio History Connection and managed and operated by the Zoar Community Association include: The Zoar Dairy, Hotel, Wagon Shop, Blacksmith Shop, Tin Shop, Bakery, Garden and Garden House, Sewing House, Number One House, Kitchen & Dining Room, The Bimeler Museum and the Magazine.

As one of the first buildings erected in Zoar, this privately owned cabin was the town's first meeting house and is the oldest home still standing in Zoar.

The annual Civil War School Day in September is one of the town's most popular historic events.

"Christmas in Zoar" is an especially fun time to take a ride around the town.

The Zoar Hotel had 40 sleeping rooms and accommodated all kinds of people during its hotel years, including President William McKinley. (You can call 330-874-3011 for tour information.)

With welcoming hosts and an informative tour of the historic building, you'll truly feel like you've traveled back in time—while also enjoying all the modern comforts of home. It is located at 60 Third Street, Box 509, Zoar, OH 44697.

This lovely little town is beyond proud. <3
