Visiting history…

The Loft on the Square is a well-crafted tribute to the historical days of Abe Lincoln with modern day amenities. 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!

Great stay in Petersburg

The property was very cozy and welcoming, from stepping my foot in the door. Everything at your fingertips and so much character. We always enjoy the square and Broadgauge. I plan to stay in the future!
