Ohio Ace Education Marketplace

Founded in 1967, the Zoar Community Association (ZCA) has long been the driving force for preserving Zoar, a National Historic Landmark District – including the operation and restoration of the Town Hall, School House and, recently, the Bernhart Beiter House and Assembly House each sold with a preservation easement in place. For eight years, ZCA has partnered with Ohio History Connection (formerly the Ohio Historical Society) to operate, maintain, and preserve the public museum buildings collectively known as Historic Zoar Village. Working with the Ohio History Connection to maintain and preserve 14 additional historic buildings throughout the village, ZCA is responsible for the daily operation of Historic Zoar Village. Special events, programs, festivals, field trips, and special tours attract an average of 15,000 visitors to Historic Zoar Village each year. The Zoar Community Association serves a diverse range of audiences. Our programs are geared towards various and diverse groups of guests to reach the greatest number of visitors possible. We educate close to 2,000 children each spring with field trips and homeschool days. This number is even greater during our biannual Civil War event. Our free Speaker Series offers a broad range of content and topics to appeal to all audiences and to provide educational opportunities to those who may not be able to afford other programming. Daily admission and festivals draw many families, couples, and seniors.
