Located along the scenic LaHave River, Bridgewater, Nova Scotia is often called the “The Heart of the South Shore.” As the largest town in the region, Bridgewater serves as a commercial and cultural hub for surrounding communities, offering a unique blend of history, natural beauty, and urban convenience.

A Brief History

Landmarks like the Old Bridge, King Street, and the DesBrisay Museum highlight Bridgewater’s rich past and local heritage.
