When historic preservation meets modern logistics, trusted storage solutions make all the difference. That’s exactly what happened when Shrine Mont — the beloved retreat and conference center nestled in the heart of Orkney Springs, Virginia — turned to Keens Storage & Containers for help during a major renovation project.
As part of their preparation for the Shrine Mont 100th Anniversary in 2025, the leadership began carefully restoring and upgrading several of the historic buildings on their property. With generations of memories stored in every corner, Shrine Mont needed a reliable, secure way to store furniture, fixtures, and building materials throughout the process.That’s where Keens Storage & Containers came in.
Led by Rick Moomaw, Shrine Mont’s long-time Maintenance and Grounds Supervisor, the team reached out to Keens for temporary storage containers that could be placed right on site. They needed portable, weatherproof, and secure units — and they needed them delivered promptly and professionally.
Keens delivered.
As a third-generation, family-owned business based in the Shenandoah Valley, Keens specializes in providing clean, high-quality storage containers for a wide variety of uses, including:
• Renovation and restoration projects
• Furniture and material storage
• Agricultural and retail support
• Commercial and construction site use
For Shrine Mont, Keens supplied a set of 20-foot and 40-foot containers, each carefully inspected to ensure they were wind- and water-tight. These storage units were placed strategically around the grounds so that Rick and his team could move furniture out of the buildings without disrupting daily operations.
“We were impressed by how smooth the process was,” said Rick. “Angie in the office made scheduling easy, and Larry and the crew dropped the containers exactly where we needed them. The units were clean, dry, and secure — exactly what we were looking for.”
With the help of Keens, Shrine Mont was able to begin its restoration work without worry. Valuable items were protected from the elements, workers had clear access to their job sites, and operations stayed organized from start to finish.
