Community Navigation
The Town of Bridgewater’s community navigator, Rebecca, works closely with the Museum as the first touchstone for new residents in our community. She is here to help you feel at home in Bridgewater by connecting you to the information, resources, and people you need to settle in. Whether you’re thinking about moving to our Town, you’ve just arrived, or you’ve been here for years and are still finding your footing, you can reach out to Rebecca for information.
Maybe you have a long list of questions, or you just want to make your first point of contact – either way, I would love to hear from you and help make the transition a little easier!

ROOM BOOKINGS ON HOLD
Room bookings are currently on pause until Tuesday November 12th to accommodate special programming, and will resume after that date.
During October, our Community Room will become home to our artist in residence, renowned Mi’kmaw craftsman Todd Labrador, while he carries out a traditional building demonstration of a 16-foot birch bark canoe. Please come and engage with Todd during the build to learn more about this iconic symbol of the Mi’kmaw cultural landscape and his own personal connections to this community.
