The underground tunnels in Huntington, WV have been the subject of urban legends for many decades. The city is home to a few confirmed pedestrian tunnels and other historically significant basement features. However, there is little evidence verifying the existence of many of the fabled underground tunnels associated with popular downtown buildings such as the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center, the Frederick Building, and other historic locations. This study examines published sources and presents new interview data to assess the evidence for the existence of subsurface architectural features. The locations, narratives, and contexts associated with the tunnels and other features are described. Gaps in existing knowledge are identified and recommendations for future research are presented from a historical archaeology perspective. Additional oral history narratives describing personal experiences with the tunnels are needed to better understand the cultural significance of the sites. Given the longstanding public interest in this topic, efforts to record and publish video footage of the tunnels would be beneficial, and the economic value of tunnel tourism warrants consideration. Future studies aimed at identifying, photographing, mapping, and assessing subsurface features are needed to establish a historically accurate understanding of Huntington’s subterranean architecture.
