The Bedford Oak
“My father taught me to take off my hat whenever I passed what he used to call 'our most venerable citizen.' I do it to this day, as does my son, and I commend it to you. Long may the old oak's proud crest stand in Bedford, a challenge to stability and generosity, so that its qualities may be found always in the character of Bedford citizens." - Harold Whitman, Bedford resident, 1942
