Posted September 5, 201410 yr One of America's most successful communal settlements, Zoar was almost leveled or relocated because of a failing levee.

September 5, 201410 yr Interesting. Is it all a historical village now, or is it possible to live in Zoar, Ohio?
September 5, 201410 yr If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break, [X2] When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.
September 5, 201410 yr Used to go by bike here as a kid, a six-mile ride from Dover. And I've got ancestors in the cemetery at the edge of town. Most of the houses are privately owned.
September 6, 201410 yr ^Many of the homes appear to be privately owned/occupied. Very cool! Makes me think of all of the villages and towns in Ohio that were lost to flooding. In SW OH, I know Tadmor (by Vandalia), Osborn and Fairfield (relocated and merged, now Fairborn) were all lost.
