Bedford calls itself "The Christmas Capitol of Virginia." We are not yet sure why, but one possible reason is the expansive lighting that takes place each season at the National Elk's Home. They do put on a great array of lighting and Christmas displays on their large grounds and buildings. The public is invited to motor slowing through the interior roadway to view the lights. No stopping or foot traffic is permitted. It is a nice effort by these senior residents of the Elk's Home. We took a number of pictures the evening we drove through the property.
