Editing Bedford County, Pennsylvania (section)

===19th century===
In the late 19th century, the [[Bedford Springs Hotel]] became an important site for wealthy vacationers. It was built near natural springs that had been important to the Native Americans for hundreds of years. During the administration of President [[James Buchanan]], he moved much of his administration to the hotel, which became the informal summer [[White House]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.omnihotels.com/blog/rich-history-omni-bedford-springs/ |title=The Rich History of Omni Bedford Springs |last=Locke |first=Karen |date=2016 |website=Omni Hotels}}</ref>  The [[U.S. Supreme Court]] met at the hotel once. It was the only time that the high court met outside of the [[Washington D.C.|capital]]{{citation needed|date=February 2018}}.

During the late 19th century, the county had a population boom, with the number of people doubling between 1870 and 1890. [[Railroad]]s constructed through the town connected the county with the [[mining]] industry. The story of the [[Lost Children of the Alleghenies]] originates from [[Blue Knob State Park]] in the county.
