Bedford County Historical Locations

[tdc129]

I'm am heading to Bedford County over the Holidays and have found some mentions of a few locations where I would like to detect. Problem is I've hit a road block with research and was wondering if anyone out there could help me out. The areas are as follows.

1. Union Army Entrenchment, Loysburg, PA. - For this one I know it is about 5 miles south of the town of Loysburg but haven't been able to find any other data to narrow it down more.

2. Fort Juniata, Juniata Crossings, PA - For this one I know the Fort is supposedly about 5 miles north of the town of Juniata Crossings, PA but again, that is it.

If anyone has any other info about these locations, or even any other places that would be of interest in Bedford County, please let me know. I would have loved to search the Bedford Springs but it has recently been renovated and there is little chance of getting anywhere near the propery to hunt. Too bad I wasnt detecting when the place was just standing there in disrepair.
