Heritage Village
Heritage Village
is a plaza located along Veterans Memorial Boulevard and Eleventh
Street across from the Riverfront Park.The theme of the plaza
comes from our city's past. Collis P. Huntington, our city's
founder, bought the C & O Railroad and completed laying
the railroad from Richmond, Virginia. to the Ohio River, making
Huntington a major transfer point between the river boats
and the railway lines.

The Village includes the renovated B &
O Railway Station, an authentic locomotie, a renovated Pullman
Car, various businesses, stores and restaurants. Huntingtons
first bank, built in 1873, has been renovated and is included
among the shops there also. The former bank was allegedly
robbed by the James Gang on September 6, 1875. |
