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.
