The Court House - 1787 & Bedford Museum

615 Old Post Road
The Court House is the oldest Westchester County Government Building and one of only three Court Houses in New York State built before 1800. It is Bedford's historic landmark of the days from 1788 to 1870 when Bedford was a county seat more populous than White Plains. The Court House was restored once in 1889 and again between 1965 and 1970 when its Court Room was returned to its original dignity. The Bedford Museum is housed on the second floor and its exhibits were refreshed in 2008. The Town owns the building and the Historical Society maintains the interior and operates the museum which is open to the public from April to December. When the Court House Museum is open, hours can be found on our Home Page.
