Bridgetown is located along the Annapolis River in
Nova Scotia's Annapolis County. Once an important shipbuilding
centre, Heritage Canada's Main Street Program has helped preserve
many of Bridgetown's original buildings from the "Age of Sail".
Today the town's residential streets are lined with elm trees and
Victorian homes and the downtown district is alive with shops.
Queen Street is often considered a perfect example of a small town
business district - the sidewalks are wide, the shops are close
together, and people stop to greet each other on every corner.
