The Camden Spyglass

Through the spyglass, we make light observations about life in the five Camden Herald towns (Camden, Rockport, Lincolnville, Hope and Appleton).
Send the Spyglass your Camden-area observations, humor, history, trivia, bits of New England poetry, photos, proverbs and wisdom. Handwritten notes and postcards are accepted and encouraged. Be sure to include your name, address, phone number and email. If your item is chosen to appear in The Camden Spyglass, we'll send you a token of our appreciation. Email spyglass@villagesoup.com or regular mail to 91 Camden St., Suite 403, Rockland, ME 04841.
