Follow the path that helped shape a nation.
Located in the heart of downtown Bedford, Fort Bedford Museum stands near the site of the original 1758 British fort.
After you finish exploring the fascinating exhibits, see how nature and history intersect by taking a spring stroll through the adjacent park along the Juniata River and imagining the frontier soldiers who once guarded the historic Forbes Road.
It all passed through here.
