In which Kentucky city is the Ark Encounter attraction located?

The story behind the answer

The Ark Encounter attraction is located in Williamstown, Kentucky.

Ark Encounter is a Christian theme park in Grant County, Kentucky, centered on a large replica of Noah's Ark. The attraction opened in 2016 and was developed by Answers in Genesis, the organization also associated with the Creation Museum in nearby Petersburg.

Its Ark replica follows the dimensions given in Genesis: 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. The attraction interprets the biblical account through exhibits, constructed scenes, and displays of animals and people. Its presentation reflects a particular young-Earth creationist interpretation rather than a neutral archaeological reconstruction.

Williamstown is roughly midway between Cincinnati and Lexington, making the location easy to confuse with larger Kentucky cities. The city name is the precise answer; Louisville, Lexington, and Bowling Green are separate Kentucky cities and do not host the attraction.
