Minton Lodge
The Minton Lodge is a beautiful retreat home previously owned and lived-in by Josh Minton. He always enjoyed having guests and ensured he would have enough space for everyone.
The property is surrounded by 49 wooded acres in Aberdeen, Ohio, only a few miles away from the Ohio River and Kentucky border. The house offers a peaceful and quiet setting to get away to. We welcome anyone affected by cancer, active duty and veterans of the armed services, and their family members.

Josh Minton entered the military in 2006, graduated from West Point in 2010 where he played collegiately for the Army Rugby team.

We were honored to again host our annual turkey hunts at the Minton Lodge. This year we hosted 2 Veterans and their sons ages 8 and 15 to hunt and spend the weekend with us. What an amazing weekend is all I can say. Our 8-year-old hunter bagged a huge bird on Sunday morning! Our 15-year-old saw numerous birds but wasn’t able to bring one home. The spirit at the Lodge the entire weekend was special. Our hunters knew each other and the fellowship with them and our long-time guides Chris Strickland from near the Lodge, Randy Blevins and his soon to be Missus Patty from Va. and Bob as host, cook and dishwasher was just so enjoyable. I think the video (in the comment section) along with the pictures sum up the weekend better than words from me ever could. Special thanks to Josh Polland and the Hancock County Veterans Service Office for lining up our hunters! We are so thankful for all of you who support us and help us to provide these opportunities! ... See MoreSee Less
🌿 Volunteer Opportunity at Minton Lodge 🌿
Did you know that honeysuckle is a highly invasive plant that can quickly take over natural spaces and crowd out native growth?
We’re excited to share that Minton Lodge has qualified for a grant to remove this invasive plant from the property—helping us restore and protect the beauty of the land for everyone to enjoy. This is the type of project that would have definitely appealed to Josh. He was deeply interested in doing all he could to improve the natural habitat and hunting opportunities on the property.
Recently, we had a few members of our veteran community come out to help with the honeysuckle project, and we are so grateful for their support. Every little bit helps as we continue working to restore the property. 💚
We’re looking for additional volunteers to join us in this effort. This is a meaningful way to make a direct impact and support the mission of the lodge.
📩 If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact us at info@brotherson3.org
Together, we can make a difference. 🌱 ... See MoreSee Less
Whenever I see this video of Josh, I’m reminded of the song "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw. He truly lived life to the fullest and used his journey to bring awareness to the AYA cancer community.
His impact continues to inspire us every day. 💛💙💛
