Bedford Village Archeological Site
Bedford Village Archeological Site, Archaeological site in Bedford Township, Pennsylvania.
The Bedford Village Archaeological Site spans 4.75 acres along the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River, featuring relocated historic structures and excavated foundations.
Between 1250 and 1600, the Monongahela people established a settlement with circular houses enclosed by wooden stockades at this strategic riverside location.
The site contains forty pre-twentieth-century buildings from central Pennsylvania, including an 1880 covered bridge and an octagonal schoolhouse from 1851.
Visitors can explore the grounds through guided tours that present archaeological findings and examine structures relocated from surrounding communities of Bedford County.
Archaeological excavations revealed evidence of multiple Native American occupations, with Shenks Ferry cultural remains positioned above earlier Monongahela stockade locations.
