Proximity to Cincinnati
: I do vaguely remember seeing a quote saying that it *was* why the location was chosen - something about how 2/3 of the pop. could get there with a day's bus ride - perhaps they built the headquarters when they built the museum? Anyway, perhaps we can find the quote, which will solve the problem. Will look. --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 07:16, 31 May 2007 (EDT)

::It looks as if I was wrong in thinking Answers in Genesis' headquarters preceded the museum. [http://www.citybeat.com/2000-07-14/cover.shtml This 1999 article] says Ham is "a former Australian biology teacher... In 1994, Ham moved from San Diego to Cincinnati and founded Answers in Genesis, a religious organization whose members believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible." But Petersburg, KY is about thirty miles from Cincinnati, and I have to think that the location was influenced by proximity to Cincinnati.
::The figure of "650 miles" just seems weirdly arbitrary to me. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 09:07, 31 May 2007 (EDT)
