   Within this gallery, you will find artifacts from the Indian occupation of Bedford County. They come from the Collection of Larry D. Smith. By clicking on the thumbnail images, you can access additional pages which provide some information about the item(s), their history, and their uses.

   My dad gave me an Indian arrowhead when I was about seven or eight years old. I kept it over the years, and a couple years ago I found an offering of twenty arrowheads on eBay by a collector from Bedford County, and I made the purchase. Later I saw the stone tools being offered on eBay, also with provenances from Bedford County, so I purchased those. I am not really interested in items just because they are "Indian", but rather because they were used by Indians who sojourned in this region of Pennsylvania.
