Bridgetown

Few communities in Nova Scotia have a history as closely tied to wooden shipbuilding and the lumber trade as Bridgetown. Set on the north bank of the Annapolis River, the town developed during the 19th century when the waterway linked local timber and agricultural country with the Annapolis Basin. Its compact centre retains a traditional small-town streetscape, while the surrounding Annapolis Valley is known across Canada for orchards and farming. Bridgetown is a quiet base for following the valley’s river routes and learning about Nova Scotia’s maritime-era industries.
