Bedford’s window into 18th-century daily life, the Job Lane Farm Museum on North Road, has reopened to the public.

Tours of the historic house, sponsored by the Friends of the Job Lane House, are scheduled for the second and fourth Sundays of the month from 2 to 4 p.m. through October.  There’s a suggested donation of $5 per visitor or $10 per family.  Event details can be found at Job Lane Farm Museum website calendar.

The farm museum represents “a history of the house and barn, and a history of the early days of Bedford,” said Sharon McDonald, town historian.

Visitors get a tour of the house and of the barn.  They can poke their nose in the gift shop.  It’s not just looking at things, but it’s learning stories about the Lane Family, the Dutton Family, and the colonial days of Bedford.  more…
