Just in case you haven't heard and are planning to visit the Bedford Co. courthouse, it has moved. The old, historic courthouse building in the center of Bedford City is undergoing a two year renovation project. The courts and all of Bedford County's records have moved to a temporary facility about two miles from the old location. The new address is 1635 Venture Blvd., which is off of Independence Blvd. The hours are still from 8:30 am until 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, but the computers go off line around 4:30 pm. If you need directions, you can call the clerk of either the General District Court or the Circuit Court at 540-586-7637 or 540-586-7632, respectively.
