Bedford is right in the middle of the Dallas/ Fort Worth area. We’re the perfect launching pad for your Metroplex experience, whether you go east, west, north or south. We’re just five minutes from DFW Airport.

Bedford offers great restaurants and a variety of lodging options with great rates. In the summer, take the kids to Splash Aquatics Park for a fun day in the sun. The historic Old Bedford School hosts tours, concerts and murder mystery dinners. It is a wonderful setting for family reunions, weddings and corporate meetings as well. The expansive Boys Ranch Park and lake offers an urban oasis in which to relax, enjoy the trails and maybe do a little fishing.

Our newest treasure is the Northeast Tarrant County Civil War Memorial. It sits on the grounds of the Bedford Church of Christ on Bedford Road. The memorial honors by name veterans of both armies during the Civil War who lived, owned land, died or are buried in Northeast Tarrant County. At least 19 of the veterans listed on the memorial are buried at the adjacent Bedford Cemetery, a Texas historical site. Every city in modern day Northeast Tarrant County is represented.
