Zionsville and Eagle Township

As the first of the Boone County townships to be settled, the residents of Eagle Township, and those of Zionsville in particular, are proud of their long history. A walking tour of Zionsville provides a glimpse into the history that spans over several eras. The Greater Zionsville Chamber of Commerce provides a walking tour map designating 79 points of interest, and covering a range of architectural styles. These include structures representing Victorian Romanesque, Prairie style, Greek Revival architecture, and many more. The county’s first log cabin, livery stable and schoolhouse are also located in Zionsville.

The P.H. Sullivan Museum in Zionsville is one of the premier attractions of the area. In 1966, Iva Etta Sullivan donated a large gift of artifacts and community records, marking the beginning of the museum. Sullivan was the great-granddaughter of Patrick Henry Sullivan, one of the region’s first settlers. Since its inception, the museum has been dedicated to contributing to the appreciation and understanding of local culture and history. To this end, the museum offers educational displays, documents on microfilm and microfiche, and a genealogical library containing over 5,000 volumes of research material.

The museum also operates the Munce Art Center, which preserves and promotes the work of local artists. Local art is displayed and sold at six professional shows and two community shows each year. The center also offers classes for all ages and day camps for children.

The Greater Zionsville Chamber of Commerce also organizes several annual events for Eagle Township residents to get together and enjoy their community. In the summertime, residents enjoy the Farmers Markets, Lincoln Park Concerts and the Gardens of Zionsville show sponsored by the P.H. Sullivan Museum. Everyone has an excuse to shop in July when the Downtown Merchants’ Sidewalk Sale is held. The three-day Fall Festival, held in mid-September, draws in many visitors for the parade and live music. Special celebrations are also held in honor of Independence Day and the winter holiday season.
