Question: Numerous interpretations of Noah's Ark have been built and proposed, some based on a chest like structure with rectangular sides and other reconstructions which give it a rounded bow and stern; a prime example of the latter is located in the Christian evangelical and fundamentalist theme park known as 'Ark Encounter' situated in which state?
Context: Ark Encounter is a Christian evangelical and fundamentalist theme park that opened in Grant County, Kentucky on July 7, 2016.  The centerpiece of the park is a full-scale model of Noah's Ark as described in the Genesis flood narrative of the Bible.  It is 510 ft long, 85 ft wide, and 51 ft high.  It is one of only three full-size Noah's Ark replicas and derivatives in the world, and the largest of the three. Martin Alfred Larson (March 2, 1897 in Whitehall, Michigan - January 15, 1994 in Phoenix, Arizona) was an American populist religious freethinker and Christian historian specializing in its origins and early theological history, best known for his assertion that Jesus Christ and John the Baptist were Essenes.  Originally from a fundamentalist Christian Evangelical background, he "rejected its dogmas and practices" when he was about 20 years old.  Following service in the United States Navy, he graduated from Kalamazoo College in Michigan, after which he earned a Ph.D. in English literature from the University of Michigan in 1927 with a thesis on the unorthodoxies of Milton, whom he found to have rejected the doctrine of the Trinity.  He retired from a career in business at the age of 50 to devote himself to private study, lecturing and writing. Chiswick House is an example of English Palladian Architecture in Burlington Lane, Chiswick, in the London Borough of Hounslow in England.  Arguably the finest remaining example of Neo-Palladian architecture in London, the house was designed by Lord Burlington, and built between 1727 and 1729.  The architectural historian Richard Hewlings has established that Chiswick House was an attempt by Lord Burlington to create a Roman villa, rather than Renaissance pastiche, situated in a symbolic Roman garden.  Chiswick House is inspired in part by several buildings of the 16th-century Italian architects Andrea Palladio (1508–1580) and his assistant Vincenzo Scamozzi (1552–1616).  The house is often said to be directly inspired by Palladio's Villa Capra "La Rotonda" near Vicenza, due to the fact that architect Colen Campbell had offered Lord Burlington a design for a villa very closely based on the Villa Capra for his use at Chiswick.  However, although still clearly influential, Lord Burlington had rejected this design and it was subsequently used at Mereworth Castle, Kent.  Lord Burlington was not just restricted to the influence of Andrea Palladio as his library list at Chiswick indicates.  He owned books by influential Italian Renaissance architects such as Sebastiano Serlio and Leon Battista Alberti and his library contained books by French architects,sculptors, illustrators and architectural theorists such as Jean Cotelle, Philibert de l'Orme, Abraham Bosse, Jean Bullant, Salomon de Caus, Roland Fréart de Chambray, Hugues Sambin, Antoine Desgodetz, and John James's translation of Claude Perrault's "Treatise of the Five Orders".  Whether Palladio's work inspired Chiswick or not, the Renaissance architect exerted an important influence on Lord Burlington through his plans and reconstructions of lost Roman buildings; many of these unpublished and little known, were purchased by Burlington on his second Grand Tour and housed in cabinets and tables the Blue Velvet Room, which served as his study.  These reconstructions were the source for many of the varied geometric shapes within Burlington's Villa, including the use of the octagon, circle and rectangle (with apses).  Possibly the most influential building reconstructed by Palladio and used at Chiswick was the monumental Roman Baths of Diocletian: references to this building can be found in the Domed Hall, Gallery, Library and Link rooms. Noah's Ark is a tourist attraction located on Ma Wan Island in Hong Kong.  It is an evangelical Christian theme park centred, according to its own materials, on the themes of nature, art, education and love.  The overarching theme of the park is a creationist narrative.  It was built by Thomas and Raymond Kwok, Hong Kong real estate developers who, according to the "Bloomberg Billionaires Index", between them control a $15 billion fortune.  Thomas and his wife converted to Christianity after completing an eleven-week Alpha Course designed to introduce non-Christians to the basic tenets of the faith. Evangelical left or Progressive Evangelicals are Christians who identify with evangelicalism in the United States but generally function on the left wing of the movement theologically and/or politically.  Typically, members of the evangelical left affirm the primary tenets of evangelical theology, such as the doctrines of the incarnation, atonement, and resurrection, and also see the Bible as the primary authority for the Church.  Unlike many evangelicals, however, those on the evangelical left often support and utilize modern biblical criticism and are open to more progressive interpretations of Christian beliefs.  They often support a more progressive political platform as well.  Many, for example, are opposed to capital punishment and supportive of gun control and welfare programs.  In many cases, they are also pacifists.  While members of the evangelical left chiefly reside in mainline denominations, they are often heavily influenced by the anabaptist social tradition.  While the "evangelical left" is related to the wider Christian left, those who are part of the latter category are not always viewed as evangelical. Numerous interpretations of Noah's Ark have been built and proposed.  Some were intended to be replicas, as close as possible to the Biblical Ark, the builders assuming such a boat did exist and is not a mythological vessel.  Others are looser derivatives inspired by the idea.  The Biblical description of the Ark is brief beyond the basic measures of length, height and width, and the exact design of any "replica" must largely be a matter of conjecture.  Some interpret the Ark as simply a chest-like structure with rectangular sides; other reconstructions (like Ark Encounter) give it a rounded bow and stern. Kenneth Alfred Ham (born 20 October 1951) is an Australian Christian fundamentalist and young Earth creationist living in the United States.  He is president of Answers in Genesis (AiG), a Creationist apologetics organization that operates the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. Paultons Family Theme Park | Home of Peppa Pig World is located in the village of Ower, near Romsey, in Hampshire, England.  The theme park has 70 rides and attractions.  The Peppa Pig World theme park area is based on the children’s television series character.  The Lost Kingdom theme park area includes 27 animatronic dinosaurs.  The park name is derived from the former Paultons Estate, on which the park is situated.  The park covers 140 acres of land and features a collection of around 80 species of birds and animals, in addition to the rides.  Most of the theme park rides are designed for children, which is why the park considers itself a family theme park. The Brinkmeyer House is a single family dwelling located in Greenview, Illinois.  The original structure was erected in 1859 with multiple additions beginning during the 1940s.  The original two story structure is constructed of solid masonry with a roof line towering 25 feet above ground level.  The Brinkmeyer House is a prime example of colonial style construction featuring rectangular construction with five arched second story windows on the Southern face, a hip style roof, centrally located front and rear doorways on the North and South face of the original structure and a chimney with multilevel fireplace access. The Morris Wide Water Canal Boat Site is an archaeological site in Morris, Illinois, which contains the remains of seven canal boats sunk in the Illinois & Michigan Canal.  The boats were likely built between 1865 and 1885 and were abandoned at the site between 1895 and 1915, after which they gradually sank.  All of the boats were flat-bottomed with a rounded bow and stern.  The hulls of the boats are in good condition and provide insight into construction methods used in canal boats of the period.  As no fully intact Illinois canal boats from the period survive, the remains of these boats are some of the few pieces of physical evidence which can be used to study canal travel during the era.  The remains were first discovered in 1978 after a storm exposed the part of the canal bed containing the boats; another storm in 1996 again exposed the boats and allowed further studies to be conducted on them.
