Our volunteers are the lifeblood of our village. We are so thankful for Brenda and Sally and their dedication to Historic Zoar Village!
“Sharing these stories with visitors allows me to connect others to the past while helping preserve a place that blends artistry, culture, and community spirit. For me, it’s not just volunteering—it’s being part of a legacy that continues to inspire curiosity and appreciation for our shared heritage.” – Sally Storad
“I’m constantly discovering more about Zoar’s history in the 7 years I’ve been volunteering. I learn something interesting or notice a new detail in a photo every time I’m here. The Zoarites move from facts on paper to real people… living their beliefs, working, having fun, and creating the special community of Zoar.” – Brenda Kohler

Historic Zoar Village was founded by German Separatists in 1817 and thrived as a communal settlement for more than 80 years. Today, the village is home to approximately 75 families living in houses built from 1817 to present. Zoar’s historical district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a National Historic Landmark District. Dozens of village structures have been painstakingly preserved through the collaborative efforts of the Zoar Community Association and the Ohio Historical Society.
