A joint county heritage trail project featuring historic landmarks and properties within Bedford and Franklin Counties will debut with a special inaugural tour to be held Saturday, July 23 from 10 am to 4 pm.
Discover a unique historical side to the region with “History Alive: A Tasting Tour of Bedford & Franklin County Heritage.” The self-driving tour will showcase four historic properties, with each location providing a sampling of historically appropriate foods, refreshment and entertainment. An effort is being made to ensure each site highlights something new and different.
The tour includes four historic properties: Big Otter Mill, Historic Avenel, Jubal A. Early Homeplace, and The Hook-Powell-Moorman Farm. The Hook-Powell-Moorman Farm, Big Otter Mill, and Historic Avenel are not normally open to the public making this is a rare opportunity to view these private historic sites. Tour guests can also visit the Booker T. Washington National Monument and receive discounted admission to The National D-Day Memorial. Both the Franklin County History Museum and the Bedford Museum & Genealogical Library will be open with extended hours.
