Leaving much of the original structure exposed shows appreciation to the building’s bricks and bones. Local businesses also offer plenty to explore. This will be our go-to for visiting family and friends in the area! ##### Ginger V.

March in the midwest can get a bit long so we thought we'd plan a little time in Springfield and finish touring some of the Lincoln sites we had missed before. Petersburg is just a short, but beautiful ride so when we spotted the Loft on the Square we went for it. And while the Lincoln sites were great, this sweet loft really made our time special. Well planned, welcoming lay out with everything and anything we could possibly ask for. Clean, comfortable and within walking distance to nice restaurants, shops and antique haunts. Brewery right next door made for easy entertainment! In particular, we really enjoyed the history and learning more about the Loft! Thank you. We will be back.
