From The Crazy Tourist
Design History: The Bedford Flag
The Bedford Flag is the oldest intact American battle flag, representing a key part of U.S. history. Dating back to the early 1700s, this iconic design was passed down through generations and reportedly carried into the first battles of the Revolution. With its bold red silk, elegant damask pattern, and painted emblem, the flag combines visual interest with symbolic meaning. Despite lost fringe, it remains in remarkable condition at the Bedford Free Public Library. The flag’s striking aesthetics and embodiment of patriotic values make it both a national treasure and timeless design achievement.
Community-Oriented
Bedford prides itself on civic engagement, with an open town meeting form of government. It supports community growth through organizations like the Chamber of Commerce. The town values neighborhoods, small businesses, and creating a sense of belonging. For creatives and professionals invested in community impact, Bedford provides opportunities to connect with and serve the local population.
Outdoor Inspiration
From the Concord River to wooded hiking trails, Bedford offers plenty of natural landscapes. Parks like Bedford Depot Park and Dixon Park provide scenic recreation spots. For designers seeking outdoor inspiration and respite, Bedford has abundant green spaces, rivers, and nature preserves right in town.
