Today we honor and remember the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who gave their lives in service to our country.

Originally known as “Decoration Day,” the observance began after the Civil War, when communities gathered to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers and flags. Over time, Memorial Day became a national day of remembrance for all Americans who died in military service.

As we enjoy the freedoms they helped preserve, we pause to reflect on their sacrifice and express gratitude for their courage.

On this day in 1975 the Town of Bedford deeded the 1829 School House to the Historical Society. Since then we have restored and preserved the “Stone Jug” and it plays an important role in our Footsteps in the Past educational programs and community events.

Preservation is possible thanks to our members. Please renew your membership, join or make a donation today at BHSNY.ORG. Thank you!
