Our Communities

Bridgewater, VT

Bridgewater, Vermont, 8 miles to the West of Woodstock; that much closer to Killington Resort, has a year-round population of about 1,000 people most of whom you will never see due to the community’s rural character. It comprises 45 square miles of land with old 18th-century tracks, roads and stone fencing still evident throughout its woods and pastures.

The population means more land available, more unobstructed views, more horse trails and more chances to breathe the fresh air, fly high and spread your wings. That's exactly what a number of entrepreneurs have done who have chosen to live -- and create - in Bridgewater.

Once a bustling hub of the sheep and woolen industry along the Ottauquechee River, Bridgewater, Vermont now continues its history with its use of the restored woolen mill. The mill is home to a number of remarkable craftsmen and businesspeople, including internationally renowned furniture maker Charles Shackleton, Miranda Thomas Pottery along with smaller micro-craftspeople such as Fiona Blunden and her Gold Gilding Studio. The Mill Building also offers Ramunto's pizza and beer, popular with locals heading home from work or visitors heading home from the slopes.

Just down the road, at Bridgewater Corners, Long Trail brewery, which started in the mill building and is now a vital local employer, hosts thousands of skiers, bikers, tourists who stop by to sample beer, grab a bite to eat and enjoy the Ottauquechee River as it burbles its way East to the Connecticut River.
