The Bedford Oak is one of those rare living landmarks that quietly connects the past to the present. Estimated to be over 500 years old, this massive white oak has stood through centuries of change in Bedford, from Native American times to the Revolutionary War and beyond. Locals have always held it in high regard, and when development threatened its space in the 1970s, the community stepped up to save it. Thanks to their efforts, the tree and the land around it are now protected and cared for.
