Founder's Crossing is a must-visit gem in Bedford! It offers a delightful blend of unique treasures, from fascinating antiques and quirky finds to handcrafted creations by local artisans. And with a cozy coffee shop on-site, you can refuel and relax during your shopping adventure. The building itself holds a rich history, evident in the original wooden floors that once graced it when it was a G.C. Murphy's store. Founder's Crossing truly embodies the heart and soul of the town.

So many cute items. From soaps to dishes, clothes and toys, you can spend hours in here. Our favorites are the “grab it” bags that run from $2 to $4 and are like hidden treasures - you do t know what you got till you open it. So fun!

Very cool place to poke around. The old building is fantastic, and the staff is very friendly. The first floor is boutique-type shops, while the basement is a more eclectic mix of old and new... I did find a signed pic of Nicolas Cage, so mega win.
