Bedford Depot was built by the Middlesex Central Railroad circa 1874. It was last used as an active railway station in 1958. The Town acquired the property in 1999 as part of the overall Depot Park project.

A recent architectural study finds that the Depot is in good general condition. The building’s exterior was painted last fall. Also, the Town has appropriated funds to put a new roof on the Depot later this year.
