Old Bedford Village

In a quiet area of rural Pennsylvania lies a village unlike any other. Made from historic structures (some local and some rescued and brought to this area) this village offers a glimpse into the past.

Parking in the arrival area, visitors have the opportunity to look through the gift shop first, or wait until the end of their visit. Map in hand, visitors can walk through each building with an open door or look through the windows of others to see what life was like many moons ago.

Some buildings are fully functioning and have artisans working inside. In addition to the tinsmith, there is also a broom maker, a blacksmith, someone weaving baskets and even a school teacher. These historians share what they know with visitors and send them on to the next point of interest.

A few times a year there are events scheduled for families to enjoy. Especially towards the end of the year, there are activities for visitors of all ages and these events are perfect opportunities to enjoy the romantic chilly weather as patrons prepare for the holidays.

This living history museum takes a lot of upkeep, so please take your families and loved ones, experience the history and knowledge that is gladly shared, and help keep this attraction going for years to come.
