When a national publication shines a spotlight on Bedford County, we can't help but share. ❤️
In a new feature from the Washington Post, Bedford plays an important role in the story of the historic Forbes Road, the Lincoln Highway, and the people and places that helped shape America's past. The article also highlights several of the iconic destinations that continue to welcome visitors today.
It's a wonderful reminder that Bedford County's history isn't just preserved. It's still being discovered.

Some summer traditions never go out of style. 🍦
Whether you've spent the day hiking, paddling, biking, exploring a small town, or simply enjoying the sunshine, there's always room for ice cream.
A stop at The Igloo Soft Freeze has been a favorite way to cool off for generations, and with locations in both Everett and New Paris, you're never too far from your next cone.
Consider this your sign to treat yourself this summer!
