Built as a Masonic Lodge in 1895, as the only example of Romanesque Revival architecture in town, the Bedford Democrat Newspaper commented that, “When completed, this will be the handsomest building in town.” Today, this handsome building has been restored and renovated into the Bedford City/County Museum. Exhibits include an Indian Room, Black History Room, Revolutionary War period artifacts, Civil War period artifacts, World War I and World War II Rooms, a special D-Day exhibit, old photographs, old household items and more.

Directions:
When traveling east on US-460 (from Roanoke), take the US-460 Business exit. This will be a left exit from US-460. That will put you on Blue Ridge Avenue which will turn into West Main Street and then East Main Street. The Museum will be on your left just after you have gone through the third streetlight - 1.5 miles.
When traveling west on US-460 (from Lynchburg), take the US-460 Business exit. The Museum will be on your right shortly after you pass through the second stop light - 1.5 miles.
There is a parking lot next to the building.
