About Bridgewater

Located in southwest Iowa's Adair County, Bridgewater offers a quiet, small-town pace surrounded by open farmland. First established as a railroad stop in the late 1800s, this close-knit community gives residents plenty of open space and easy access to the outdoors. Just southeast of town, Mormon Trail County Park features a 35-acre lake popular for fishing, camping, and boating. Families in the area are served by the Nodaway Valley school district, making it a peaceful, down-to-earth spot to put down roots in the countryside.
