"Lots of fun AND educational!"
I remember visiting Old Bedford Village as a child and we took our kids for a visit a few years ago. It was raining the day we went, so many of the activities were closed. We still had a really good time. We made candles and baskets and had a great time talking to the wonderful people who work there. My youngest son had the most fun chasing chickens around the barnyard. It is basically an ongoing historical reenactment of life as it was when Bedford was first settled.

"Fun with the Family"
Drive over the Claycomb Covered Bridge to Old Bedford Village. This village of morethan forty reproduction and authentic log, stone, and frame structures is beautifully laid out to re-create a typical village of about 1750 to 1900, with homes, schools, a church, and shops. Interpreters in period costumes bake cookies and make brooms, and much more. About fourteen indigenous crafts are represented. The kids will love stopping for ice cream or doughnuts as you tour the town.
Meals are available at Pendergrass Tavern in the village. Dress comfortably andwear walking shoes. Wheelchair accessible. The Village Craft and Gift Shop offersmany unusual crafts made in the village, as well as souvenirs.
Annual special events include a crafts festival in June, gospel music and a story-telling festival in August, Civil War reenactments in September, pumpkin festivals in October, and a holiday celebration in December.
