The Farley-Hutchinson-Kimball House is a historic house and barn at 461A and 463 North Road in Bedford, Massachusetts. The property consists of a house whose oldest portions date to c. 1732, and an attached barn from the late 19th century that has been converted to residential use. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.The main block of the house, a 2+1⁄2-story five-bay timber-frame structure, was probably built c. 1732 by Christopher Page, for his daughter Joanna and son-in-law Benjamin Farley. It was on property Page subdivided to make the gift and probably already had a house on it. The newer building is surmised to have been built between 1728 and 1732. The Farleys did not stay long in the house, moving to Dunstable, Massachusetts (a part that is now Hollis, New Hampshire) in 1733, selling their farmstead to Benjamin Hutchinson. In the 19th century it passed through several hands, until it was purchased in 1911 by Charles and Edith Kimball, who established a poultry farm on the premises. In 1913 the Kimballs embarked on a major renovation and expansion project, giving the house its Colonial Revival character.From about 1920 into the 1930s the Kimballs also made and sold candy on the premises, adapting the 19th century barn for those purposes. In 1946 the Kimballs converted to barn to two residential apartments. The only major later addition to the property was a c. 1979 kitchen addition to the house, which was executed in a historically sensitive way.

The Bedford Veterans Affairs Medical Center, also known as the Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Veterans Hospital, is a medical facility of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) at 200 Springs Road in Bedford, Massachusetts. Its campus once consisted of about 276 acres (112 ha) of land, which had by 2012 been reduced to 179 acres (72 ha). The hospital was opened in 1928 to treat neuropsychiatric patients, but now provides a wider array of medical services. Through the efforts of Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers, the center was expanded to offer services to women in 1947; her role led to the center being renamed in her honor by President Jimmy Carter.The focal point of the complex is its Main Building, a three-story brick Classical Revival building that was built in 1928, and is still used as a medical care facility. South of this is the Administration building, also built in 1928. West of that is the former Kitchen and Dining Hall of 1928, which now houses offices and storage space. To its west is the 1929 Acute Care Building, now known as the Nursing Home Care Unit. Other buildings of the complex are located primarily north and south of this grouping, and are smaller in scale.In 2012, 177 acres of the remaining campus were listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. The district includes the main hospital buildings, as well as residential housing, utility and maintenance buildings, most of which were built no later than 1947, and some of which date to 1928, the earliest period of the facility's construction. It is an excellent example of an intact Period 2 neuropsychiatric VA hospital.

The Two Brothers Rocks–Dudley Road Historic District encompasses a historically significant rural area of Bedford and Billerica, Massachusetts.

Vine Brook is a brook in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. According to the History of Bedford, Vine Brook is "an important tributary of Shawsheen River." The book also states it as an excellent source of water-power in the 17th to 19th Centuries. Vine Brook flows from the "Old Reservoir," at a public park off Marrett Road in Lexington, then meets Upper Vine Brook (one of its tributaries), then continues northward through Lexington Centre, through Butterfield's Pond on the Lexington-Burlington border, underneath the Middlesex Mall and Burlington Mall (in a culvert), remaining northward and parallel to the Middlesex Turnpike for a ways, then meets Long Meadow Brook (one of its tributaries), then part of it branches off to form Sandy Brook, then continues to flow northwesterly over the Burlington-Bedford border, to Route 3 at Burlington Road, then crosses over Rte. 3 to an old millpond, and empties into the Shawsheen River. (The Shawsheen, in turn, empties into the Merrimack River, which then empties into the Atlantic Ocean.) Vine Brook is one of the best-known water features in Lexington, and is closely identified with the histories of Lexington and Burlington, due to the several mills which once operated on its banks. The brook lends its name to many local streets and developments. Several segments of the brook, in all three towns it passes through, are parts of town-owned conservation land parks.

The Deacon Samuel Hill House is a historic First Period house in Billerica, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story timber-frame house is estimated to have been built around 1725, based on analysis of its construction techniques. It was probably built by Deacon Samuel Hill, who inherited the property where it stood from Ralph Hill, an early settler of the area. The house was originally a single room in depth, but a leanto was added in the 18th century, giving it the typical Georgian saltbox appearance. One of the upper chambers has a rare example of wood paneling painted with a marbleized finish. The house was moved to its present location (likely a short distance from its original site) sometime in the 1970s.The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
