ZIONSVILLE, IN – What makes Zionsville’s historic Village so special, and how can we preserve its unique character while embracing the future?
SullivanMunce Cultural Center invites the community to explore these questions during “Preservation by Design: Protecting the Character of Zionsville’s Village,” featuring architect Todd Rottmann, AIA, on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. at SullivanMunce Cultural Center, 225 W.

Zionsville’s historic Village is known for its charming brick streets, distinctive architecture, and small-town atmosphere. As the community continues to grow and evolve, preserving the architectural character and historic identity of the Village remains an important conversation.

Through local examples and practical insights, attendees will gain a better understanding of how architecture and preservation can work together to protect the places that define our community. The presentation will also encourage discussion about balancing new development with the historic features that make Zionsville distinctive.
