10 Things to do in Huntington That You Shouldn't Miss

May 2, 2022 Darwin Bolte

Huntington sits on the mid-section of the scenic Ohio River at the point where West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky meet. Founder Collis P. Huntington was the builder and owner of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. West Virginia’s second-largest city and the home of Marshall University, Huntington promises a variety of attractions: a downtown area with shopping, entertainment and a town square with a nostalgic nod to the city's railroad past. Year-round, festivals and special events take place downtown and in Pullman Square, the Civic Arena and the Keith-Albee Theater.

Museum of Radio and Technology

We visited Saturday 12/21/19. We were in Huntington for the Candlenights Podcasts Taping that afternoon. Unfortunately we had to cut our visit to the museum a little short so we could get back in to town for that. Our docent, Dave Bond, was a real gem. He was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and didn't even flinch at what were probably some pretty stupid questions. The collection is extensive. The demonstrations are informative. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Just a side note - they had put so much effort into decorating the place for the holidays - that was icing on the cake. If anyone in your group is interested in radio / TV / phonographs / computers / HAM / or just history, this is really worth a visit. There was a donation box on the way out. We were more than happy to contribute.

The Lost Escape Room

An escape room is a fun, immersive new entertainment concept designed for small groups of people to work together in order to escape from a locked room. Each room has a unique story line, and teams must use elements of the room to find clues and solve puzzles in order to escape within the 60 minute time frame. We currently have two locations, one in Huntington and the other in Cross Lanes, WV.

My daughters and I really enjoyed the lost queen. They’re 7 and 9 so we didn’t escape but the puzzles and game itself was so much fun. Our game master (jake) was amazing and you could tell he really loved his job and very helpful. We will def go back we love escape rooms and this one is def at the top of the list.

Huntington Museum of Art

Huntington Museum of Art (HMA) opened on November 9, 1952. Incorporated in 1947, its creation was made possible by the generosity of the community and a group of citizens led by Herbert Fitzpatrick, who donated his art collection of 435 objects and 52 acres of land for the Museum's location. Today, as the only nationally accredited visual art museum of its size in the Tri-State region, HMA encompasses a permanent art collection of over 16,000 objects, nine exhibition galleries, an interactive education gallery, an art reference library of over 26,000 volumes, a 287-seat auditorium, a tropical and subtropical plant conservatory, two outdoor sculpture courts, five studio workshops, two miles of hiking trails, and a quarter-mile paved accessible Sensory Trail.

We visited this large museum occupying over an acre of floor space in a series of buildings built from 1952 to 2010. We were fortunate it reopened for Covid conditions only last month and for now its free with a timed online ticket. After meeting with the masked entry docent, we self toured a succession of galleries to include a well rounded collection of world art, supplemented with galleries of glass, ceramics, a collection of 19th C Syrian treasures and two firearm collections. Most noteworthy was the Herman P. Dean Firearm Collection displaying the progression of firing mechanisms from wheel locks to flintlocks to cartridges with scores of excellent examples from Europe and America. A small tropical conservatory is attached featuring a Koi pond with a 352 piece glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly. Outside a trail system through the surrounding 60 wooded acres make for a lengthy and eclectic visit. This a 1st class museum and well worth a 2 hour visit.

Took the 2 grandchildren today to visit the Farm. Mask on and WOW what a great time enjoyed by all. The beautiful huge stair steps into the the trees was amazing and enjoyed by our Grandchildren. Once we climbed up the flights of steps there are walk ways of netting and netting with walking planks. Great addition to this wonderful place. The employees are friendly and eager to answer any questions you may have. New this year was the Nature room filled with aquatic creatures and even an aquarium. The farm has plenty of clean restrooms and have Purell sanitizer dispensers thru out the farm. The farm is truly a Blessing for all of us to enjoy! A BIG Thank you to the Perry family for there dedication to this wonderful place
