Zoar and the Presidents Day Returns

The award-winning Zoar and the Presidents Day returns this year with a School Day on Friday, Oct. 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. as well as an event that’s open to the public Saturday, Oct. 5 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Last year, the Ohio Museums Association honored the program with the Best in Education and Outreach award.

During the event, visitors can meet reenactors portraying U.S. presidents and historical figures who were active during Zoar’s era as a communal settlement from 1817 to 1898.

Presidential games, trivia and activities along with museum tours and demonstrations will be held throughout the village. Additionally, fall and apple-related demonstrations will also be integrated into the event. At the end of the day, an election will be held where visitors can vote on their favorite presidential appearance that day.

Tickets for the Zoar and the Presidents School Day are $7 per student, $7 per adult and free for children 5 and under. Admission is free for one adult per group. Tickets for the public day are $12 for adults and free for children 12 and under.

All private, public and homeschool groups over 10 people are required to register through Tammi Shrum at 1-800-262-6165 or tshrum@zca.org. Smaller co-ops and individual homeschool families can purchase tickets online.
