Kisco. Bedford Hills is the seat of government of the Town of Bedford. The Town House, built in 1927, and Town buildings containing the Police Department and Town offices are located in the hamlet. The hamlet is also the site of the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, the largest women's prison in New York State.
