Which U.S. state is home to the Ark Encounter attraction?

Kentucky is the U.S. state home to the Ark Encounter attraction.

Ark Encounter is a Christian theme park near Williamstown, Kentucky. Its main feature is a large wooden ark built as a visitor attraction and based on the dimensions described in the Book of Genesis. The site opened to the public in 2016 and is operated by Answers in Genesis, the organization also associated with the Creation Museum in nearby Petersburg.

The attraction’s ark is advertised as being 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high. Those figures scale the biblical dimensions of 300 by 50 by 30 cubits using a cubit of 20.4 inches. The modern structure therefore represents an interpretation of the Genesis measurements rather than an archaeological discovery.

Ark Encounter has attracted visitors and controversy, including debates about its educational claims and public funding issues. Its location in Kentucky is the stable geographic fact asked here.
