Description: This is an image of a black iron made of cast iron. It is triangular in shape and has a loop handle. The iron was made in Zoar, Tuscarawas County, Ohio. The Society of Separatists of Zoar was a group of German religious dissenters who immigrated to Ohio in 1817. Finding it difficult to make ends meet on their own, they formed a communal society in 1819 in which all members shared equally. After a few hard years, the group became solvent by helping build seven miles of the Ohio and Erie Canal, which passed through their lands. The canal enabled them to get their produce to market and allowed them to be financially successful. The Zoarites manufactured much of what they needed themselves. The village of Zoar, named for the Biblical city that Lot fled to from Sodom and Gomorrah, included grist mills, a wool factory, iron furnaces, a tannery, a foundry, garden, and store. The community disbanded in 1898. View on Ohio Memory.
