Straight Up Bridgewater

This community almost 30 miles south of Boston is the 99th of 351 geographical jurisdictions known as a ""commonwealth"" by the state of Massachusetts. To western US ears, a ""commonwealth"" sounds rather British. (Heck, saying ""rather"" sounds rather British too, come to think of it.) Then again there's a reason this part of the country is called ""New"" England. At a humble 25,000 or so residents, Bridgewater may seem small, but in the northeast part of the country, the continuity of urban space makes this a little misleading. So you may as well consider Bridgewater an outlying Boston suburb.

Bridgewater's median income puts it above the national average, and even somewhat about the state average, and its official poverty rate is low. We're not sure what they're doing up there - or down there, depending on where you're reading this - but whatever it is, keep it up Bridgewater.

Speaking of the unknown, here's a word of caution on this town: It's known to harbor what the spooky weirdo mill has dubbed ""The Bridgewater Triangle,"" a portion of the Hockomock Swamp near Bridgewater where strange sightings have allegedly, and alarmingly, taken place. In fact the word Hockomock even means ""place where spirits dwell,"" so they ain't kiddin'. We're talkin' UFO sightings, animal sacrifice, and even bizarre shenanigans specific to the area's grim past, such as a ""colonial dark day."" What is a colonial dark day, exactly? We still haven't figured that out ourselves, but you might try consulting this guy. As a cryptozoologist - yes, you read that right - he kind of knows a thing or two.

Ok, so that was spooky. Let's get back to Brigewater's more practical, and less gnarly features.

The Community Preservation Coalition has been working hard for years to maintain the historical landmarks that make Bridgewater and neighboring communities into something more than just another strip mall. They're behind the success of area sights such as the Sheep Hill Farm in Williamstown, the Paul Revere Bell in Plymouth, and even a copy - though a very fine copy it be - of the Declaration of Independence in Mendon. Let's give them a round of applause, shall we?
