The 1713 Job Lane House Museum, Bedford, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts



295 North Road
Bedford, Massachusetts 01730
https://joblanefarmmuseum.org
It is open May through October, Second and Fourth Sunday, 2-4 PM.

This large lovely house museum is in Bedford, Massachusetts, a small town bordering Lexington and Concord.


There is a large parking area where I am standing and you walk up this road to the large barn on the right (and below). This is where you can get information about the house museum, pay your admission by a donation, visit the gift shop, or wait for the tour to begin. 


This was the first room I saw on the almost-hour tour. I had no way to take notes and there were too many bits of information given. I've copied their information sheet to share, see at the end. Some items are original to those who lived in the house, and many have been donated or purchased over the years.

Attic with miscellaneous furniture, nails through the ceiling, and lots of spiders.







It was raining when we left.
