I have been researching the claim that Seneca Falls was the inspiration behind Bedford Falls and have yet to find real proof, just saying it is so is not proof. I grew up in SF NY. The main road into town, Ovid street had the same steel bridge that SF took down in the early 80s. Every bridge from Seneca Falls, Waterloo to Geneva along that canal were the same steel construction and they were beautiful and there was many. The call to tear them down or close the ones that still stand today was a bad call. The one you all are crossing was at one point also going to be tore down until this Bedford Falls claim came to light in the late 90s. Seneca Falls like so many other towns was a dying town. The factory's were closing, Jobs were difficult to find, people were leaving. Graduation class numbers in the 70s and 80s were ave 170 students that sunk to under 50. Is it possible that the Bedford Falls claim was and is nothing more then a ploy at the time to try to rebirth a dying town? The world will never know...
Totally awesome!🤩
It really was super cool!
I lived here for four years during school! Lovely town and salt of the earth people live there
Bucket list trip, everyone!
In 2008, they used to have actors playing out the scenes throughout the town. It was awesome….
ohhh, I wish they still did - still a great time!
