The Ernest Warther Museum believes that everyone has a purpose. Ernest Warther discovered his purpose at the age of 5. He knew he had a great ability to carve but his purpose grew beyond an art form. Experience hands-on workshops to help bring carving, art, STEAM and history together accompanied with our guided tours. As the World’s Master Carver, Ernest “Mooney” Warther’s life and works pave the way to inspire all to find their purpose.

What does it mean to live communally? Or fight in a war even if your religion forbids it? Find out the answers during a tour of Historic Zoar Village. Nestled in the foothills of the Tuscarawas Valley is a quaint little town founded by German immigrants escaping religious persecution and searching for their safe haven. In 1819, the villagers banded together to form the Society of Separatists of Zoar choosing to live communally until 1898.
