the coffee pot

rhondaw56

You cannot miss the Coffee Pot if in Bedford as it is on the main drag going into town, at the entrance to the fair grounds. I am partial to this iconic historical building as my dad helped his father saw some of the wood for this place when this was built, It has been moved from its original spot across the highway, but is being better preserved now. Stop and see it.

The wife and I were winding our way through western central PA on Lincoln Highway on New Years Day and found this little roadside gem.It's an interesting story and a really cool offbeat "attraction".Worth a stop if you are driving by on route 30.

Googie. Worth a brief stop, if it's convenient. Fun for photo Ops, but there's no additional activities at the stop.

You must stop, get out and take a look at this old Route 30 piece of memorabilia! So unique to the history of the road. Worth a drive by for sure.

It's iconic, but that's the only thing going for this roadside attraction. If you're passing it, stop and see it, otherwise don't go out of your way.

My wife had to stop and get a few pic's. There is no cost so I didn't mind. It's neat to look at and something to remember Bedford by.

Whoopie! a small hotel, also once a gas station, in [sort of] shape of a coffee pot. moved across from its old location, refurbished at great taxpayer expense. Better off to refurbish a bridge somewhere. So what is there to see? if you must visit budget no less than 10 seconds.

Definitely need to stop to see this place. Was a little disappointed because there is nothing inside or near to see. Would be a really neat place if it was opened as a little coffee shop, even if just to pick it up and go.

This was used for advertisement or publicity. It changed hands, fell into disrepair until the town decided to restore it. There is information concerning it's history posted at the site and you can go inside the coffee pot.

It's not much to see but it's a quick stop and makes a cute picture. You can't go inside anymore. The nearby town is also cute.

We travel a lot and sometimes we get a kick out of the quirky things found in small towns and rural areas. My husband delayed leaving Bedford so we could drive to the fair grounds and see the coffee pot. We came, we saw, we photographed.

While travelling through Bedford you have to stop and visit the iconic Coffee Pot and view the plaque about the interesting history. This is one of those roadside Americana sites that you have to stop by and take a pic of.

It was a fun stop for us . . We were staying in Bedford for the night and visiting the antique stores downtown.It was worth the quick stop for the group photos to post on FaceBook.

It is a interesting thing to see. A hug coffee pot on the side of the road. It is located at the fairground entrance. Not much else to say

Were excited to find this just by chance. We don't really know what it's used for now, but there are indications that someone is inside on occasion. It was quiet on the Saturday we were there.
