Plan A Trip To Bedford, One Of Pennsylvania’s Best Small Towns
Life in Pennsylvania certainly can be fast-paced and exciting. However, sometimes we want to slow things down a bit and to embrace the charm of small-town life. Doing that is simple when we visit one of Pennsylvania’s best small towns, like Bedford. Surrounded by the lush, rolling landscape and classic covered bridges, Bedford boasts a quaint downtown and a full menu of family-friendly activities.
A little over 100 miles from both Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, Bedford sprawls out just over a square mile and is a popular destination for Pennsylvanians and travelers from all over.
The small town boasts a population of just over 2,700 residents and lays claim to a rich history, some of which you can experience at Jean Bonnet Tavern.
The tavern dishes up delicious meals with a hearty helping of the paranormal, if you’re lucky. It’s also the perfect place to stay overnight if you need a comfortable, charming spot to sleep.
If you’re spending a few days in Bedford, plan to visit the area’s historic covered bridges. Bedford is home to 14 covered bridges and features a self-guided covered bridge tour.
Carve out some time, too, to explore the enchanting downtown, where you’ll find an assortment of shops and restaurants. Downtown even hosts a seasonal farmers market on Wednesdays.
Staying overnight? If you feel like embarking on an old-fashioned western getaway, book a stay at Creekside Resort. You’ll also find charming B&Bs, a luxury hotel, and a cozy motel in the area.
