West Virginia is a beautiful state, and it’s home to some stunning spots that will make you feel like you’ve stepped into a fairytale. We’re particularly fond of Ritter Park, located in the charming Ritter Park Historic District. This place is so perfectly picturesque, it’s downright enchanting.

Ritter Park Historic District is a national historic district located in Huntington.

The highlight is Ritter Park municipal park, which was purchased by the city in 1908.
This park is a beloved local treasure, and all it takes is one visit to see why.

Not only is it incredibly well-maintained, there's beauty hiding around every corner.
The rose garden is delightful in any season, even when the flowers aren't in bloom.
