A run-down amusement park featuring two very old roller-coasters, worth seeing.
Camden Park is a twenty-six acre amusement park located near Huntington, West Virginia. Established in 1903 as a picnic spot by the Camden Interstate Railway Company, it is one of only thirteen trolley parks that remain open in the United States. Whereas most trolley parks were located at the end of trolley lines, Camden Park is unusual in that it was built where riders traveling between Huntington and nearby cities would stop to change lines. Not long after opening, the park soon gained a carousel and other roadside attractions. Camden Park is West Virginia's only amusement park. The park is home to more than thirty rides and attractions, including a full-size traditional wooden roller coaster, the Big Dipper, and several other vintage rides.

The commercial heart of the West End neighborhood; the self-proclaimed "antiques capital of West Virginia." About ten antique stores line 14th St. West. There's also a locally-owned cafe, used bookstore, a historic market building hosting a farmers market; and a gazebo that hosts occasional outdoor performances.
This museum houses the largest collection of vintage radios in the U.S.A.
Three states are visible from this pleasant riverfront park where the Big Sandy River empties into the Ohio River at the point where West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio meet.
A tour of this quirky, anachronistic attraction includes a guided tour through the Progress Museum and Transportation Museum (the latter of which includes a 1908 electric truck and a miniature steam engine exhibit) as well as a visit to the country store museum.
The highlight of this park is the Veterans Memorial Arch. The arch is illuminated by floodlights at night. Connects to Ritter Park along a path following Fourpole Creek through the neighborhood.
