In & Around Lynchburg, VA : Virginia: Bedford

We made a fresh pot of hot chocolate and bundled up in the car to enjoy the Christmas lights in Bedford County, Virginia last night. One of ours stops was at The National Elks Home in Bedford, VA. This has been a family favorite since our girls were little and it really puts you in the Christmas spirit.

The Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks purchased the Hotel Bedford located in Bedford, Virginia in 1902. This beautiful home is located on 200 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Elk National Home was dedicated in 1903 as a retirement community for retired Elks members and their spouses.
