Memorial Bench Policy
Rails to Trails of Bedford 
County’s goal is to support the development, maintenance and promotion of the H&BT Rail Trail as a public resource offering a scenic year-round multi-use recreational trail; and especially to represent the interest of non-motorized trail users. Our mission is to preserve the heritage and historical significance of the H&BT Rail Trail.
Rails to Trails of Bedford County is proud to offer you a special way to remember or honor a loved one through our memorial bench program.
While you are able to suggest a preferred location, all bench placements are subject to approval by the Broad Top Township supervisors to make sure that they are in accordance with public need and the HB&T Rail Trail master site plan. We will make every effort to accommodate your preferences and will work together with you to find a location that is suitable for all involved.
Our six foot benches will consist of concrete side forms with gray reinforced plastic seating and backs with a 3×12 inch black plaque. Cost of each bench will be $750. The cost includes the purchase and installation of the bench, as well as maintenance for the life of the bench. It also includes a plaque that will be affixed to the bench and can include up to three lines of text with 25 characters each.
