unveil the refurbished Statue of Liberty in 1986, died last Thursday at 77.
At the time of his death, Patrick Marsh was vice president since 2001 of attractions design for the Young Earth creationist apologetics organization Answers in Genesis — which spearheaded the building and operating of both the museum and amusement park in Northern Kentucky.
Answers in Genesis did not disclose how he died in its announcement of Marsh’s death. First opened in 2016, the Ark Encounter is a life-size Noah’s Ark model in Williamstown with dimensions given in the Genesis narrative. CP.
