A Kentucky Supreme Court Justice was honored this week with a prestigious state award for his efforts towards historic preservation in west Kentucky.

Justice Bill Cunningham of Kuttawa was presented the Ida Lee Willis Memorial Award at the Ida Lee Willis Memorial Foundation Historic Preservation Awards on Wednesday.

The Kentucky Heritage Council credited Cunningham for raising funds to preserve and restore the Davis Amos House in Caldwell County and the 1820 Rose Hill mansion next to Eddyville Penitentiary.

He is also a historian who has authored several books involving the commonwealth.
