Old Bedford Village

The village consists of 35 buildings, mainly from the mid 1700s to the mid 1800s, that have been arranged along  gravel streets. Most were moved to the village from other locations in Bedford County, Pennsylvania and a few were built on site to interpret specific aspects of village life. Native American tribes that lived in area are also covered. The buildings and the village are very nicely done and well maintained. 

 Historical interpreters are located at some of the buildings especially on special event weekends. There were only three when we visited on a quiet weekend which was good for us because the village was uncrowded. Some of the buildings have self service snacks and drinks. 

The gravel on the streets is deep and rough in spots. Almost all of the buildings have ramps. Some are dangerously steep and the thresholds may be high. Most wheelchair users will need assistance. 

A narrow, 12'5" covered bridge must be crossed to get to the main parking lot and the smaller lot directly across from the village entrance. There's a small lot before the bridge if your vehicle is too wide, long, or heavy. Village  40.03957, -78.51037
