The original depot, built in 1874, and the 1877 freight house are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Along with a restored Budd Rail Diesel Car, these structures form the centerpieces of the Bedford Depot Park. The park is a testament to the rich history of the area and offers a unique glimpse into the past.
Freight House Museum and Depot Businesses
The freight house underwent a significant renovation from 2006 to 2008, costing $350,000. Today, it serves as a museum run by the Friends of Bedford Depot Park. The depot, on the other hand, continues to house private businesses, adding a modern touch to the historic site.
Budd Rail Diesel Car #6211
In 1998, the Budd Rail Diesel Car #6211, a former Boston & Maine car that had been used for Lexington Branch service decades earlier, was brought from Billerica Repair Shops for rehabilitation. This car is now a significant part of the Bedford Depot Park, adding to its historical charm.
