West Virginia's second-largest city and home to Marshall University, Huntington sits on the shores of the scenic Ohio River at the point where West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky meet. First settled as a major hub for the railroad industry, Huntington features a bustling, modern downtown with a side of Southern hospitality.  Autumn is a particularly stunning time of year, with brilliant fall foliage covering the rounded, wooded Appalachian foothills rising on all sides of this West Virginia gem. Our real estate agents recommend some of their favorite spots to hit while taking time out from showing affordable, beautiful Huntington homes for sale.  

1. Heritage Farm Museum & Village - 3300 Harvey Road, Huntington
   This unique destination celebrates the rich history of 19th-century Appalachia to the present. It's also one of the best places to spend the day and learn about the history of the architecture, folklore, arts, and crafts, and daily life in Appalachia. Founded in 1973 by Mike and Henriella Perry, Heritage Farm Museum & Village includes more than 25,000 square feet of Appalachian artifacts in seven museums and includes a beautiful doll and quilt collection. In the Artisan Center, you'll find the Heritage Farm Artisan Guild, a group of skilled tradespeople dedicated to the conservation and development of traditional Appalachian arts and crafts. Or check out the "Smithsonian Room," an amazing public workshop space. Kids will love the petting zoo, too!
