Join us for the grand opening of “Bedford Answers the Call” at our Open House on April 12th from 8 – 10:15 a.m. and immediately following the Pole Capping Day parade and ceremony.

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the first day of the American Revolutionary War on April 19, 1775, we’ve created a collection of artifacts and stories specific to Bedford. Two rooms of the Historical Society Museum feature our town’s response to the urgent midnight call to arms: “The British are coming!”

Also, visit our satellite displays at the Bedford Free Public Library, 7 Mudge Way, Bedford, MA, to learn about the history of the present-day Bedford Minuteman Company.

This event explores our region’s revolutionary past! Learn about Freedom’s Way 250 and discover the many ways the Heritage Area and its partners are commemorating and celebrating our nation’s semiquincentennial anniversary.
