Fort Bedford Museum

The fort was built by the British during the French and Indian War to protect a military road that stretched from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to the French Fort Duquesne in present day downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The museum was built in 1958, near the original fort location, to commemorate the fort's 200th anniversary and features nicely done exhibits that cover Native American history, the French and Indian War, and the early history of the town of Bedford. 

The main floor of the museum is accessible but the balcony level can only be accessed by stairs. 

The parking lot which is large enough for any vehicle, is located in Fort Bedford Park next to the river. The walk up Fort Bedford Road to the museum entrance is very steep. Wheelchair users will need assistance.  There is a small pull off at the museum entrance for passenger loading and unloading. Museum  40.02, -78.5048
