Whether you are interested in outdoor activities like hiking and golfing or your idea of leisure is strolling around our lovely downtown enjoying the shops and galleries, there is something for everyone in beautiful Bedford County. 

Enjoy the area’s history at the Fort Bedford Museum, Old Bedford Village and pay respects to our nation’s more recent history at the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville (23 miles west of Bedford).    

Wine tasting is always a good time and visitors to downtown Bedford may enjoy wines at Briar Valley Vineyards Tasting Room where they make Pennsylvania wine from grapes grown in nearby Everett, Pennsylvania.
