What a pleasant surprise when we visited Huntington to find this shop that offers WV crafted gifts. Purchased way more than I should have but it all supports the local craft artists. If you are looking for a shop with true WV gifts then put this on your list.
4. Pullman Square

Although I have visited Pullman Square multiple times, this was the first time I had ever visited the pottery place. It was such a nice relaxing afternoon of painting. The piece I created was a clover for St Patrick’s Day and my friend picked out an Easter decoration. It was the week prior to everything being shut down in the state due to coronavirus, but I finally received my finished product in May. After your project is painted, the store will fire it and mail it to you for a shipping charge. It was well worth the price. I will visit again when I am in the area.

Great place to spend some time watching the sun sink into the river through the structure of the 6th Street bridge and watch the boats out on one of America's great rivers. Not crowded on a Saturday evening, but small groups of walkers were present. Find a bench and take in a little tranquility.
