STURBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - A living history museum in Massachusetts is preparing to honor journalist and former TV news anchor Tom Brokaw with a lifetime achievement award.
Old Sturbridge Village will honor Brokaw at a Nov. 27 ceremony the museum organized with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns.
The annual honor recognizes someone who's impacted the arts through history-related projects.
Old Sturbridge Village celebrates New England life in the 1830s and has a farm, water-powered mills and a stagecoach.
Burns' first film was about the museum while in college, and he credits that project with igniting his passion for history.
The Walpole, N.H.-based producer has since produced documentaries on subjects including America's national parks, baseball and the Civil War.
Brokaw, now an NBC News special correspondent, has authored books including " The Greatest Generation" and " The Time of Our Lives."
