The Central City Museum is a museum on a mission to weave the threads of personal stories and artifacts from industries into a professionally presented narrative history of the community.  The vision of the Central City Museum is to contribute to the revitalization of the West Huntington neighborhood with a destination for residents and visitors that builds the significance of the area. 

The Central City Museum was established in 2020 as a way to preserve and tell the rich history of Central City. The Central City Museum features a primary exhibit of glass, wood products, brewery memorabilia, and other items from the shops and businesses found in Central City from 1893-1950s. The primary exhibit is part of the programming at RenewAll’s Cultural Wealth Hub located at 610 14ST W in Huntington. The many objects in the Central City Museum collection are artifacts of the craftsmanship and abundant natural resources of the region. Central City is now part of the West Huntington Neighborhood but was originally developed as an industrial midpoint between Huntington and Kenova to take advantage of coal and other natural resources traveling along the rail lines. Central City brought several farms and created a planned town centered on what is today known as 14th Street West. Glass factories, Barrel Makers, D.E. Abbott Framing Shop, Heiner’s Bakery, the Fesenmeier Brewing Company, Soda Fountains, Hardware Stores, early Department Stores, and other businesses filled the area with a bustling atmosphere. The Central City Museum is a program of RenewAll Inc., that serves a distinct destination for Heritage and Cultural Tourism.
