Wait…

There’s a replica of Noah’s Ark here in America? Sign me up!

2019, while working as a web designer, I remember sitting at my desk thinking, “Man, I wish there was a biblical museum to give people an unfiltered experience of what the Word of God talks about!” I laid out an entire blueprint on a Google Doc.

Wishful thinking at the time, but I’m glad the Lord allowed my imagination to run wild.

Little did I know that a museum did exist! Even in 2019.

Fast-forward to a suggestion from my sister-in-law in 2024, which raised my awareness of Ken Ham’s The Ark Encounter and Creation Museum in Williamstown, KY. We visited it as part of our sightseeing after visiting Washington, DC.

I didn’t know what to expect, and that lack of expectation led to childlike wonder, geeking out, and biblical amazement of epic proportions!

Day One

We attended the Ark Encounter first. The minute my family walked through the door, the atmosphere felt like a spiritual amusement park!
