The Bedford Historical Society - Bringing history to life

The unique character of Bedford Village is largely a result of our preservation efforts since our founding in 1916. The Society maintains 10 historic properties around the Village Green, operates a museum at the 1787 Court House and offers educational programs and events for the community. We invite you to become a Member and enjoy Bedford’s distinct history and timeless charm. Huzzah!
