The City of Huntington remains a center for arts and culture in the Mountain State. In its early days, the Ohio River provided the lifeblood to the city as steamships carrying coal and timber from the surrounding peaks used Huntington as a port. Today, it thrives as a lively city and has preserved many historic buildings by converting them into eclectic shops and restaurants. Ritter Park Historic District contains more than 70 historic homes, most exemplifying notable 20th century architecture.

Additionally, Huntington houses Marshall University which sits in the city’s center. The presence of the campus also contributes heavily to the art scene. The Red Caboose is a highly raved about art gallery in walking distance of Harris Riverfront Park. When large crowds pour into the community for a university football game, visitors and locals enjoy getting around the community by way of the Amtrak railway and Interstate 64.
