They've cleaned up the gardens a bit, and the Zoar Inn rennovation continues at a snail's pace (although the outside looks to be in good shape now). <br /><br />The major thing is that there are no real interpreters anymore, just a bunch of people in costume hanging around and some hand lettered signs. Also, one worker contradicted me on what the Number One house was used for (originally was dormitory for new arrivals/workers, then became a hostel and finally the old folks home). She claimed it was always the old folks home. Really. So, when the Zoarites emigrated they brought their old and infirm with them that they had to build the Number One house the second year of the settlement? (also the old controversy of what the holes in the walls were for, no, you couldn't stoke the fire properly through such holes, and if you adjusted the stoves to do it that way - ie. see holes in ceiling for where stoves actually were - you'd have a good chance of setting the structure on fire).Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-10740835570357122472009-12-07T00:38:40.485-05:002009-12-07T00:38:40.485-05:00Zoar eh?

Drove through Zoar on the way to an old Scout camp (Tuscazoar) about 100 times too.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716738491715639834noreply@blogger.com
