In 1867, at the very beginning of Lincoln\u2019s history, \u201cMarket Square\u201d was a designated space between O and P Streets and featured an open-air market for produce and livestock, as well as a camping ground for immigrants. In 1874, the city and state donated the original \u201cMarket Square\u201d and moved the market two blocks north, creating \u201cHaymarket Square,\u201d where scales were provided for weighing hay, cattle and produce. Today, the charming area is full of great restaurants, unique shopping and fun nightspots located among restored turn-of-the-century warehouses that are so much fun to explore in the fall.
