Building Of The Ark Encounter

See the vision of this full-sized, all-wood ark come together, dream by beam!
The skills and techniques of the Amish craftsmen primarily responsible for construction of the timber frame structure.
Fascinating facts that include how the 3-million board feet of wood used could be laid out from Kentucky to Philadelphia, over 600 miles!
To give you an idea of how large this structure is, it is permitted to hold 10,000 people.
The project is an engineering masterpiece gathering some of the most skilled craftsman and contractors in the country. It is scheduled to open July 7, 2016 with a 40-days-and-40-nights themed opening, and will present the world with a reminder about the Bible’s account of the Ark. This is the story of how it all came together!
