Bedford Historical Society Announces 2014-2015 Program Schedule

September 12, 2014

Submitted by the Bedford Historical Society

HistSoc logoThe Bedford Historical Society’s new program year is guaranteed to be an exciting one, full of interesting and thought-provoking talks, a joint program with another community group, a special dinner and two tours, according to Society President Don Corey.

With the exception of the Society’s Holiday Party and the April, 2015 program, all events will be held in the First Church of Christ, Congregational’s Upper Fellowship Hall, 25 The Great Rd., starting at 7:15 pm with refreshments (and then brief announcements at 7:45 pm with the guest speaker to follow).

These events are open to the public.  Because the October, 2014 and May, 2015 programs both include dinner, guests and potential new Society members are asked to notify the Society’s office ([email protected] or 781-275-7276) if they would like to attend.
