I love coming here and I enjoy hearing the history. Zoar was founded by German Separatists who…read moreformed their own fully functioning community here. About 225 German Separatists (Radical Pietists) from Württemberg, Bavaria, and Baden, led by Joseph Bimeler came to Ohio to escape religious persecution and form a simpler way of living in Zoar. The buildings look very much like they did when the Separatists arrived in 1819 and most of them have been very well preserved. The Zoar Hotel needs some work and parts of it are unsafe to visit, although the first floor hosted a Christmas tree sale and the basement housed Krampus (which might have been my absolute favorite part of this particular event). I also love how friendly all of the docents are. I've been here many times and the photos attached are from Christmas in Zoar which takes place several weekends in December and is $15 for adults and free for children. There is a bit of a disconnect with the advertising; event page says "guided tour", but you arrive and it's self guided. That is not a problem because I prefer to go at my own pace, however it may be off-putting for some. I also came to Zoar for the Ghost Dinner at Halloween at Zoar Tavern. It was a fun event and the food was really good, but again the communication was a little confusing, because no address was provided and we weren't sure exactly where to go. The Zoar Tavern is listed as "permanently closed" on yelp and on Apple Maps, so it makes you question if you are headed to the right place or not. I would love to do the ghost tour at some point. It is led by a lantern-toting guide through each of the historic buildings and Zoar takes on a different vibe at nighttime. I did bring my son here for the daytime Trick or Treat event and we had a lot of fun and got a generous amount of candy. Also, during the Christmas event the community hall (near the church) sold hot food items and gluwein. Very tasty. The Zoar Bakery was opened as well and I got a pretzel and a cookie. I've never been impressed by the baked goods there, so next time I'll skep that stop. I also bought a commemorative Zoar Christmas mug at the community hall, in which my gluwein was served. Very cool keepsake and I love that hot mulled wine. If you are in eastern Ohio, this place is worth a visit. It is twenty minutes down the street from me, so I have no doubt I'll be back again.

You can park and walk to the clock (there is a lot right across the street) and if you do, there are several shops and restaurants right nearby. The one downside is that it is, understandably so, off for the winter months. But they don't have anything anywhere telling you what the operating season is, how often it chimes, etc. I would have given it five stars if it was easier to get that information. I've been in the area in February, April, September and October and during each of those visits the clock was apparently "closed for the winter"

Conotton Creek Trail is a staple! It's 11.4 miles of a fully paved path that is great for biking,…read morewalking, or running. This is a great trail to view some foliage and wildlife. There are plenty of birds, ducks, geese, and turtles. If you're lucky you may see a fox or even a mink like I did today! You'll also pass through a couple of small towns if you want to make a quick detour or see some interesting architecture. The trail itself if very well kept and clean. The only reason I hesitate to give the trail five stars is its lack of signage and porta-potty cleanliness. If you're from the area it may be difficult to find the trailheads. There are a few porta-potties along the route which is great, but they are pretty old and dingy. All in all, Conotton Creek Trail is a great opportunity within the community to get some fresh air and exercise!

We parked in Scio, but it wasn't too clear where we should park as nothing was labeled so we just parked next to a picnic shelter in a gravel lot. We walked the trail for a bit, was very peaceful and pretty. Reminds me of the towpath at home. If I lived nearby I would walk it all the time. We started in a city, so we werent completely immersed in nature, but I am positive that you would be if you went just a little bit further than we did. There are porta potties and picnic tables along the way. I recommend if you are in the area and want to take a stroll or take a jog.
