CENTERVILLE, Ind. (AP) - A Ball State University professor has won a statewide award for his efforts to teach educators how to use local landmarks to make history come alive for their students.
Ronald V. Morris received his $1,000 Servaas Memorial Award on Saturday from Indianapolis-based Indiana Landmarks. He was one of three Servaas award recipients.
The Ball State history professor lives in a 1830s home that he restored in Centerville, about 70 miles east of Indianapolis. The town along U.S. 40 is lined with quaint brick row houses built in the 1820s and 1830s with connecting archways and many are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Morris recently purchased the Gov. Oliver P. Morton House, also in Centerville, from Indiana Landmarks and is beginning work to restore it as well.
