Zoar Event Center & Village Hall • 190 5th Street • Zoar, Ohio 44697

Zoar Village was founded in 1817 by a group of 200 German Separatists seeking escape from religious persecution in their homeland. These Separatists thrived as a unique Society for more than 80 years, making Zoar Village one of the most successful communal settlements in American history.


Today, Zoar Village is made up of approximately 75 families living in homes built from 1817 to the present. Visit us to tour the museums, see early American architecture and enjoy the quaint village scenery. 






The Village Hall is currently situated in the former fire house on 5th St. next to the Zoar ZCC Church.  The same location as our new Event Center.  We do not have posted hours of operation, but you can email us at village.zoar@gmail.com


Someone will contact you as soon as possible.
