About National Guard Armory - Huntington
The National Guard Armory site at 800 Virginia Ave W in Huntington has a rich history as a community landmark dating back to the era of the Huntington Kennel Club dog shows and other armory events at the city’s historic facilities. Today, the 800 Virginia Ave property is documented as a repurposed site that has served as a crop aggregation facility leased by the West Virginia Department of Agriculture (WVDA). As of the latest available information, the armory facility is not operating as a current event venue, and records suggest the crop aggregation use was active around 2016–2017, with subsequent status details not comprehensively documented. This page provides a concise overview of the location, historical context, and practical nearby options for visitors and locals who may be researching the site for reference, research, or local history exploration.
Whether you’re tracing the lineage of Huntington’s armory buildings, exploring local history, or planning a visit to the area, we’ve gathered practical guidance on parking, transportation, and nearby accommodations and dining. While the site itself is not a current events venue, nearby lodging and eateries can still serve as convenient anchors for exploring Huntington’s historic districts and related heritage sites.
Local history lovers and researchers can appreciate the broader story of Huntington’s armories, including the era of Biggs Armory (at 119 5th Ave), which hosted events from 1912 until its demolition, illustrating the city’s evolving use of armory spaces. For planning visits, consider nearby hotels and restaurants that cater to travelers and locals alike. Always verify current facility status and accessibility before visiting, and reach out to local tourism resources for the most up-to-date information.
