New Grants Expand Zoar Tours and Programming
The Zoar Community Association recently received two grants to expand Zoar’s programming:
Greenwald Fund: This will be used for braille interpretation of Historic Zoar Village, including braille materials and maps for the buildings incorporated in the existing audio tour.
The Henry and Louise Timken Foundation: This will be used for the upcoming Zoar and the Presidents events to be put towards the presenters and student materials.
We are so thankful for the generosity of these organizations and are excited to use these funds to enhance the quality and accessibility of our general tours and event programming.

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.
