Bridgewater is a small town in Litchfield County in northwestern Connecticut, in a part of the state known as the Litchfield Hills — rolling countryside with colonial farmsteads, stonewalls, and forested ridges that give this corner of Connecticut a quality that resembles Vermont more than suburban New England. The town is lightly populated and has resisted the development that has transformed much of Fairfield County to the south.
