There is no place like this during the Christmas season. Unlike a lot of people my age, I love rustic and antique looks. Old Bedford Village fulfills this for me. From reenactors inviting you into their homes showing you how meals were prepared, what types of Christmas presents were exchanged and how they kept cozy in the winter time to tradesman such as blacksmiths, gunsmiths, potters, chandlers, doctors, pharmacists, woodworkers, shop keeps and so forth this place has it all in terms of providing an authentic rustic, old fashioned colonial type feel. The majority of the homes do not have any electricity and are only heated by maintaining their fireplace. A lot of trades buildings operate similarly but for safety purposes do have some electric light.
Years ago, somewhere in the mid to late 90’s they would first have you sit with a bunch of other people as they served an awesome hot meal. If I can remember correctly, it was ham, turkey, potatoes, vegetables, gravy, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce and a drink. However, they have not done that since about that time, which is disappointing. It was great to fill up before walking around the village.
