Welcome to the Bedford Historical Society!

Founded in 1916, the Bedford Historical Society is a non-profit, educational organization committed to preserving our historic Town and original Village Green, educating students of all ages and interpreting our collections for the benefit of residents and visitors alike.

What we do for Bedford:

• Own and maintain 10 historic properties

• Preserve and exhibit collections of artifacts, documents and photographs at two museums

• Educate students about early life in historic Bedford with visits to our buildings around the Village Green

• Protect 165 acres with four historic conservation easements

• Celebrate our history and architecture through community events and programs

• Collaborate with the Town and other local groups to preserve and protect Bedford’s historic and scenic landscapes.

The Bedford Historical Society is located at 612 Old Post Road in Bedford, NY in The Bedford Store. Please stop by our offices and visit when you are in the Village. You can find information on Bedford’s history and current events, pick up a “Walking Tour” map and visit our museum gift shop.
