CAMDEN, Maine On a sparkling August morning, tourists crowded into The Smiling Cow, the oldest gift shop in Camden’s busy downtown. Even those taking a moment to savor the harbor view of the store’s back deck were likely unaware that the building stands on pilings in a pond.
It is one of more than a half dozen commercial buildings in the pond formed by the Megunticook River, where it backs up against the old Montgomery Dam. The pond water spills over the dam, and cascades down the waterfall into Camden harbor, forming one of the town’s favorite spots for visitors.

CAMDEN, Maine As they prep the lunchtime menu, the Camden Deli is bright, clean, and, despite the spectacular harbor view through a wall of glass, essentially empty.
The longtime Main Street business has tables and chairs on two levels, but those have been unused for months as the Deli does its best to stay in business, despite the COVID pandemic.
