ZOAR- Fans of good food, wine and socializing with friends in a unique setting will want to visit Zoar July 24th. “Under the Zoar Sun” will feature heavy appetizers prepared by Zoar resident Chef Michael Smith of Trax Diner along with a variety of wines.
“This is not your everyday wine-tasting or progressive dinner. Visitors will first start at the Zoar Store and then wander through the village visiting historic cellars where appetizers and a selection of wine will be served,” said Zoar Community Association President Jon Elsasser. “This unique approach also gives us the opportunity to get visitors into some very unique areas of the historic buildings in the village. Something they wouldn’t be able to do otherwise.”
The event runs from 6-9 PM and concludes in the historic Zoar Garden where dessert and wine will be served with live entertainment – under the setting Zoar sun. Revenues generated from “Under the Zoar Sun” will benefit the maintenance and upkeep of the village’s Number One house.

Founded in 1967, the Zoar Community Association strives to ensure the preservation of the historical characteristics and heritage of the Village of Zoar, Ohio, and the surrounding area, including Northern Tuscarawas County. Effective January 4, 2010, the Zoar Community Association assumed management of Zoar Village State Memorial under contract from the Ohio Historical Society.
Zoar Village was founded in 1817 by a group of about 200 German Separatists seeking escape from religious persecution in their homeland. Today, Zoar is a community of approximately 75 homes built from 1817 until the present. Many of the original homes have been preserved or restored. Find out more by visiting www.zca.org.
