About Bedford, Massachusetts
Bedford, a Middlesex County town of 14,383 people, lies roughly 21 miles northwest of Boston. Families on the far edges of Concord and Billerica were tired of traveling so far to church, and in 1728 they asked to become a separate town. Bedford was incorporated on September 23, 1729, with roughly three fifths of its land taken from Billerica and the other two fifths from Concord. Its first town meeting met in a meetinghouse that wasn't quite finished, and on July 15, 1730, Rev. Nicholas Bowes was ordained as the first minister.
On the evening of April 18, 1775, two riders from Lexington brought word that British troops were coming. Before dawn the minutemen ate a quick meal at Jeremiah Fitch's tavern, and 77 Bedford men in two companies went to the Concord fight. Near Brooks' Tavern, around midday, Captain Jonathan Wilson was killed and Job Lane was wounded. The town later named the place where Wilson had lined up his men Wilson Park.
“All day long the bell was ringing and guns were firing; people were dashing back and forth on horseback, and saying there had been an awful fight.”
- The Two Brothers, 1638In 1637 the General Court gave a grant of land along the Concord River to Thomas Dudley, the deputy governor, and Governor John Winthrop. The next year they split it at two big boulders on the riverbank and called them the Two Brothers. Around 1889 Dudley Leavitt Pickman, who descended from both men and had bought the land without knowing its past, had the stones carved with their names and the year 1638.
- The Bedford FlagBedford's minutemen carried a small crimson silk flag showing an armored arm with a sword and the Latin words for "Conquer or Die." A story says Cornet Page put it down at Concord to help move supplies and found boys playing soldiers with it. On October 19, 1885, Captain Cyrus Page presented it to Bedford. It hangs in the Bedford Free Public Library and is thought to be the oldest whole flag left in the country.
- Children's shoes from 1805Starting in 1805, Jonathan Bacon and John Hosmer made shoes for children and sold them to Boston stores, cutting their own lasts and patterns. Other shops joined in, several hundred people worked in the trade, and at its peak Bedford sold more than ninety thousand pairs a year, each one sewn by hand. Women in town made bandboxes for bonnets, and Bedford Yellow paint came from an ochre the Sprague farm's diggers took out of the ground.
- The springs the cows foundAbout 1835 farmers saw their cows drinking from three mineral springs instead of the nearby pond, and giving better milk. A company built a hotel there, and Dr. William R. Hayden bought it in 1856. His New York Pharmaceutical Company made 350 preparations at Bedford Springs, and in 1889 it sent out over 25,000 pounds of Viburnum Compound. The neighborhood got its own post office in 1888.
- A depot from 1874The Middlesex Central Railroad reached Bedford in 1873, and the Victorian depot went up the following year, joined in 1877 by an engine house for the narrow-gauge Billerica and Bedford Railroad. Both buildings were moved to the junction in 1885. A January snowstorm in 1977 ended passenger service, and the town bought Bedford Depot in 1999, where the old freight house now serves as a museum.
