Description
Photograph
of the
Kings
Palace
, or the
Number
One
House
as
it
was
later
called
,
which
served
as the
home
of
Joseph
Bimeler
,
leader
of the
Society
of
Separatists
of
Zoar
.
Built
in
1835
, the
house
was
originally
intended
as a
senior
citizen
home
for
Society
members
, but that
purpose
was
rejected
by the
elders
of
Zoar
.
Instead
,
Bimeler
occupied
the
home
until
his
death
in
1853
. A
group
of
separatists
from
Germany
,
eventually
known
as
Zoarites
,
established
the
small
community
of
Zoar
in
Tuscarawas
County
in
1817
. In the
late
eighteenth
and
early
nineteenth
centuries
, they had
separated
from the
official
German
religion
, the
Lutheran
Church
. The
community
of
Zoar
was not
originally
organized
as a
commune
, but its
residents
had a
difficult
time
surviving
in
1818
and
early
1819
. As a
result
, on
April
19
,
1819
, the
group
formed
the
Society
of
Separatists
of
Zoar
.
Each
person
donated
his or her
property
to the
community
as a
whole
. In
exchange
for their
work
, the
Society
would
provide
for them. In the
decades
following
the
establishment
of the
Zoar
commune
, the
separatists
experienced
economic
prosperity
.
Due
in
part
to
influences
from the
outside
world
and the
death
of
original
residents
, the
remaining
members
decided
to
dissolve
the
society
in
1898
, and its
property
was
divided
among
the
Zoarites
.
It
was an
end
to the
communal
experience
at
Zoar
. The
Village
is
now
an
Ohio
Historical
Society
site
and
is
open
to the
public
as
Zoar
Village
State
Memorial
.
