Lauri Schroeder

Lauri was born and raised on Logan Street where she still resides. She graduated from Bedford High School in 1974 and raised her family of four children.  As a drug and alcohol counselor, she treated court appointed patients through a Community Assessment Treatment program.  After caring for her mother, Lauri found herself looking for a new adventure.  She joined the Historical Society staff in 2020 and runs the museum shop selling Bedford merchandise such as books, prints and figurines as well as specialty jewelry and products made by local artisans. She also leads a merry band of amateur actors in the Spirit Walk where cemetery “residents” are reenacted yearly.

“Bedford is my legacy. My family has been here since the late 1800’s when our Scottish ancestors settled in Bedford. It is interwoven in the fabric of my family and my soul.”
