I had the pleasure of visiting Patriots Landing in Williamstown, KY this past week with my parents and I must say it was an extraordinary experience. We were staying in the area to visit the Ark Encounter. While having breakfast at the new Hampton Inn & Suites, we were greeted by Joe Montgomery. He had noticed the Navy hat my father was wearing and introduced himself. He told us about a 501c3 charitable organization that he is a part of and told us about Patriots Landing and what they do. He invited us to visit, and we headed right over after breakfast. We were so eagerly awaiting for the doors to open that we actually beat Joe there. From the moment Joe arrived he welcomed us with open arms. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and I could immediately tell that this was a place where veterans could feel safe and supported. The facility itself was brand new with a workshop in the back and storefront that was showcasing products that had already been made by veterans. I was impressed by Joe’s words and his passion of what he wants to do for veterans and their families. Overall, I would highly recommend Patriots Landing to any veteran or family member who is looking for support and community. This place is worth the drive to visit! So if you and the family are in the area visiting the Ark Encounter please make sure and stop by and visit the Patriots Landing. It’s obvious that Joe and the staff are caring and compassionate and this facility is top-notch! Patriots Landing truly lives up to its mission of enhancing the lives of veterans and their families, and I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to experience...

The front door was still locked, but we went around to the back work area and were immediately greeted by the owner and workers with apologies for not unlocking the door. We then spent almost an hour talking about various things, looking at the items in the store (several of which we purchased), signing the veteran sign on the wall, and then got invited back into the workshop to meet the people who made the items we purchased. I met fellow veterans from different branches, but several of them were in the Air Force as I was. We immediately started sharing stories and reminiscing together. It was such a great experience and they were all great people! Definitely worth a visit whether you are a veteran or not!!!
Warning: they are, unfortunately and currently, only open on Mondays and Tuesdays. So, plan accordingly but do work it into your...
