A Rich Heritage
 
Bedford’s rich history is woven into the fabric of its community, a town where my family has deep roots dating back to the 1700s when my ancestors were among its first settlers. Today, there are countless ways to become involved in Bedford's vibrant culture. Whether through joining the Bedford Historical Society, the Bedford Women’s Club, the Rotary Club, or supporting the restoration of the Steven Boswell Community Center—a project my mother helped spearhead— there are opportunities for everyone to contribute. The unwavering dedication of Bedford’s residents ensures that the town’s cherished traditions and culture are preserved for future generations.
