Make the Most of Your Lima Stay

Cultural heritage and industrial legacy

Lima's identity is rooted in its remarkable industrial past as home to the Lima Locomotive Works, which produced over 7,000 steam locomotives and ranked among the world's leading manufacturers. The last engine built here, the Nickel Plate Road 779, stands in Lincoln Park as a testament to that era. Downtown showcases Renaissance Revival architecture, notably the 1884 Allen County Courthouse, while the Allen County Museum preserves exhibits on locomotive manufacturing and the oil boom that briefly made Lima a global energy center.

Downtown revival and refined dining

The revitalized downtown centers on Town Square, where historic buildings now house contemporary experiences like Old City Prime, an upscale steakhouse, and The Met, offering craft cuisine and extensive wines. ArtSpace/Lima brings visual arts to a historic storefront, while the Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center hosts the Lima Symphony Orchestra and touring Broadway productions. The city's outdoor refreshment area encourages exploration of the compact downtown, where 1920s architecture meets modern amenities for business gatherings and evening entertainment.

Practical access and regional connections

Business travelers typically arrive through Dayton International Airport, 65 miles south, with rental cars providing efficient local transportation. Lima serves as a convenient base for regional attractions, including the Armstrong Air & Space Museum in Wapakoneta and the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton, both within an hour's drive via Interstate 75.
