Welcome to Bedford in Westchester County New York, 48 miles and one hour north of New York City. Bedford is a town of 16,000 in 39 square miles. Once the home of dairy farms and large estates, it's still a favorite place for those who love the country but want to be near The City. These are some of the events taking place in the coming weeks.
