It is of exceptional value in illustrating the heritage of our nation. Zoar is a national treasure enjoyed by thousands of Americans every year. &#160; Federal Study Threatens Historic Village Support and Action is Needed The Historic Village of Zoar sits at the base of a levee constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) nearly 75 years ago to hold back potential floodwaters. The levee is in need of major repairs and the Corps has given it a “Dam Safety Action Classification I” rating — its lowest safety rating, meaning the need to address the issue is “urgent and compelling.” By law, the Corps must consider all options to fix the problem. Basically, there are three alternatives: Repair the levee Tear down the village and let the area flood Relocate the Historic Village of Zoar to higher ground The Zoar Village Government and the Zoar Community Association believe the only [...]]]></description>

Please identify in subject line that RSVP is for Round House Tour. The Age of Steam Roundhouse near Sugarcreek, Ohio, just recently completed, is an authentic railroad-industrial archetype built for the storage of the owner&#8217;s collection of railroad steam locomotives. The owner, recently retired, was the developer of the Ohio Central Railroad System during which time he bought and restored steam locomotives and operated them over the system. The new roundhouse was built to evoke the imagery of an early industrial era when the railroad industry was investing heavily in modernization and efficiency. It is an exceptional facility of brick bearing wall and heavy timber construction. This tour will focus on design, construction procedures and adaptation of this early type of construction to modern needs and requirements. This tour will begin with a general description of the design to the group. Guides will then point out to smaller tour groups specific [...]]]></description>
