MUSEUM RENOVATION PROJECT – 2025
The Fly Arts Center embarked on a complete renovation project of the Bedford County History Museum in February 2025. The nine-month restoration began with reconditioning the hardwood floors, then display cases were lined with new wallpaper and painted. Every artifact, document, and photograph in the storage office was examined, organized, and sorted. Content that was formerly on display was cleaned and reconditioned.
Today, the Museum’s new look spotlights six major themes inside the large wall display cases: The Fly, Founders, The Square, Industry, Echoes of Valor, and Equine Fame. Smaller “island” cases feature topics such as daily life, business, schools, and churches, among others.
Founders | The Square | Equine Fame | Industry | Echoes of Valor
