Make a little room for Pittsfield
You may be coming for family, work, an event, or a stop along the way. While you're here, these are the places we send our own friends — all within a few minutes of the room.
Start here
Begin at the square
Monroe Street Suites sits one block south of the Pike County courthouse, so downtown is the easiest place to start. Look up at the old buildings, pop into whatever is open, and don't rush the lap around the square.
- Walk to the courthouse
- Find a cup of coffee
- Browse a local shop
- Take the long way back
Our pick: go early when the square is quiet, or just before sunset when the brick starts to glow. Historic places map
