Bridgewater is just west of Woodstock and on the way to Killington Mountain, the largest local ski area, and one of the nation’s most popular. General impressions of the town are made by traveling Route 4 as it follows the Ottauquechee River whose source is the springs of Killington Peak renewed by the melting snow every year. The road passes through the old woolen and textile mill where Charles Shackleton Furniture and Miranda Thomas Pottery create hand-crafted products of international renown, as well as where an eclectic assortment of other artisans’ shops and an excellent bookstore are located.
Bridgewater is also home to a small elementary school of some 45 students. The Southgate House, which serves as the town hall and offices, and a library are located in Bridgewater. A swift trip through the center of town gives the sense of a small commercial center in a tiny community with little more to it. This is misleading since the area has some of the region’s remarkable antique homes tucked into the rugged mountain meadows and has an effort underway to set aside some 52,000 acres in common with the towns of Barnard, Killington, and Stockbridge for a recreational preserve called the Chateauguay-No Town Wilderness.
Bridgewater has no zoning. However, a town plan is in place as a roadmap to the future and provides a clear perspective on where the town has been and where it is going.
