Overview
The Town Historian researches and shares Bedford’s history. They seek opportunities to share stories about Bedford with groups and individuals of all ages; and respond enthusiastically to requests for speaking engagements, newspaper articles, genealogical data, tours, Bedford Flag showings, and more.
Since the office was created in 1964, Town Historians have cooperated with the Select Board and other officers and committees of the town in procuring historical facts and other information pertinent to the history of Bedford. Town Historians welcome opportunities to answer questions and listen to others who have their own knowledge of our town’s history.
There is no charge for their research or programs. The Town Historian can be reached at TownHistorian@bedfordma.gov or through the Town Manager’s office.
