About Bedford
Nestled in the mountains of south-central Pennsylvania, Bedford is a small, picturesque town with plenty of character. Downtown is easy to walk, filled with local coffee shops, casual restaurants, and historic brick buildings dating back over two centuries. The area is well known for the Omni Bedford Springs Resort, which originally grew around the region's natural mineral springs and still brings a relaxed resort feel to the community.
Outdoor recreation is right in your backyard, whether you want to kayak the Juniata River or explore nearby state parks and trails. Community events bring neighbors together throughout the year, especially during the annual Fall Foliage Festival every October. Local kids attend the Bedford Area School District, and direct access to the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Route 220 makes commuting or weekend travel straightforward.
