Andrew Hessler

Andrew moved to Danville in 2018 with his fiancé, Nikki, to work and live closer to his relatives. During their stay in the River District, he became as interested as ever in both the region’s history and its bright future. In 2019, Andrew was appointed by Danville City Council to the River District Design Commission (RDDC) — a board which reviews architectural changes, planning, and development to downtown. In 2020, Dr. Hessler also became a member of Danville’s Riverview Rotary Club, The Danville Museum of Fine Arts & History (DMFAH) and added to the Board of Directors for the Danville Historical Society.

Andrew is excited to continue work highlighting Danville’s architecture and local preservation through our annual Historic House Tour. He has also enjoyed diving into the archives for old postcards, photos, and online-archive newspaper stories.
