About Bedford

Located a little over an hour and a half south of Indianapolis in Lawrence County and at about equal distance from Louisville, Ky., Bedford, Indiana, is a town of almost 14,000. The town is famous locally for being the limestone capital of the world, and quarries surround the rolling hills and lakes of the area. Limestone from Bedford has been included in many famous landmark buildings, from the Washington Monument to the Empire State Building and the Pentagon. Those looking for a house for rent or an apartment for rent will find that the area is a heavy manufacturing one, with major employers including Visteon, GM Powertrain, Indiana Limestone, Manchester Tank, and Stone City Products.

Bedford also holds a claim to fame for its surprising number of former astronauts for such a small, remote town. The city was the stomping grounds for three famous NASA astronauts, including Gus Grissom, one of the seven original Mercury astronauts. Otis Park Golf Club and nearby Spring Mill State Park offer recreation areas, and the town of French Lick, with its classic hot springs, hotel and newly built casino, is not far away. Those in search of a house for rent or an apartment for rent will also find a historical museum, the community theater and two hospitals serving the town. The public school system is made up of 11 elementary, three middle schools and Bedford North Lawrence High School.
