From the Blue Ridge Mountains to Smith Mountain Lake, Bedford, Virginia is a celebration of history and natural wonder. Nestled in the midst of the majestic mountains, rolling hills and pasture land, Bedford invites you to surrender to its charms as Central Virginia's nostalgic respite from the daily hustle and bustle.
Spectacular mountain scenery has attracted travelers since the days of Thomas Jefferson when the Peaks of Otter was a favorite spot for visitors to enjoy beautiful sunrises. As a young man, Jefferson surveyed the Peaks of Otter and often revisited there when he was in residence at his Bedford County retreat home, Poplar Forest. This octagonal-shaped house, now undergoing restoration, stands as a testimonial to Jefferson's creativity and architectural genius. Author of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson takes his place in history as one of America's most loved and respected presidents.
