Bedford: The Limestone Capital of the World
Bedford is the county seat of Lawrence County in south-central Indiana. The city was established in 1825 and grew around the limestone quarrying industry that still defines the area. Indiana limestone from Bedford and the surrounding region was used in the Empire State Building, the National Cathedral, the Pentagon, and numerous other major structures.
The Indiana Limestone Heritage Trail and the Land of Limestone exhibition at the Lawrence County Museum document the industry's history. Active quarries still operate in the area, though the workforce is a fraction of what it was at the industry's peak. Bedford's population is approximately 13,300.
Bluespring Caverns, south of Bedford, contains one of the longest navigable underground rivers in the United States. The cavern system is home to blind cavefish and other cave-adapted species. Lawrence County's forested, hilly terrain makes it popular for hiking and outdoor recreation.
The Bedford limestone quarries, some of which are more than 100 feet deep, create dramatic landscapes visible from public roads. Otis Park Golf Course, a public course designed in the 1920s, is set among rolling hills and hardwood forests typical of Lawrence County's terrain.
