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.

About Josh Minton
Josh Minton entered the military in 2006, graduated from West Point in 2010 where he played collegiately for the Army Rugby team. He completed a deployment to Afghanistan in 2012-2013 with Bravo Battery, 4th Battalion, 319th Field Artillery Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team and medically retired from the Army in 2018. He was awarded the Army Ranger Tab, Combat Action Badge, Parachutist Badge, Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal and three Army Achievement Medals.
At 27, he was diagnosed with a rare and incurable form of neuroendocrine cancer, after which he became very active with the Ulman Foundation and Ruck to Remember, a 60-mile march from Harper’s Ferry to Arlington National Cemetery. He chose to live life to its fullest over the next 5 years – however cancer took his body at the age of 32. His legacy continues to live on through his foundation and the Minton Lodge.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The Josh Minton Foundation has had the honor of hosting 5 families that have dealt with this disease. Nothing hurts worse for a parent when you can't stop your child's pain. Our hearts go out to all families that are currently in treatments with their child or in remission and to those who have lost children to this horrible disease. May we someday find a cure for all #cancerawarenessr#ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonthe#prayforacurea#joshmintonfoundationfoundation ... See MoreSee Less

One last wrap up from the 2024 JMF Golf Benefit. One of the underappreciated groups who support the event are those who donate prizes either to the raffle or swag bags.

Awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wanted to start to wrap up the golf outing for 2024. What a massive success!!!! 34 teams, a beautiful day and just overall a great time! Oh yeah, and we raised $23,903 to support the foundation!!! This is by far our biggest fundraiser and goes a long way to helping us provide free, therapeutic stays to those whose lives have been impacted by cancer or military service. The less we have to rely on fund from Airbnb rentals the more open dates we have for therapeutic stays and hunts. We couldn't have done it without a large number of willing volunteers, most of whom are pictured below. Many thanks to Dave Varney, Kim, Justyn, Gage & Leona Shepherd, Hailey Smith, Tim Rosser, Tom Jahns, Randi & Joe Kearney, Susan & Mark Gehring, Peg Gehring, Sally & Bob Minton, Mark Spaeth, Sue Gehring, Jerry Putterbaugh, Pat Sterling, Lucy & Tori Sullivan, Heather Smith who gave of their time to spend the day at the course with us. Also, Luke Story and Dan Healy behind the scenes on the golf committee helping plan the event. Mark your calendars for July 26, 2025 for the next golf event! ... See MoreSee Less

Cannot wait for next year!
I'm sure many of you remember the emotional conclusion to deer season for Dave Varney and Bob last winter. Dave finally dropped 'the big one' on the Minton Lodge property! We've been looking for several years now for a buck like this to fill Josh's dream of a big buck, taken at the Lodge, to fill the gap in the middle of the wall at the Minton Lodge. Dave got this guy back from the taxidermist and we were able to get him hung up to complete one of Josh's dreams for the property! It looks AMAZING!!! Special thanks to Dave & Malissa Kohus at Kohus Taxidermy for donating their time and effort to do a wonderful job mounting this buck. If you're looking for a taxidermist, please check them out. ...
