Save the Montgomery Dam

Are we OK with our town officials deciding to destroy a treasured property that belongs to the people of Camden?

NO.  

As voting citizens of Camden we need to open our eyes and educate ourselves at what’s going on around us. Our town officials have decided to destroy the Montgomery Dam and waterfall at the head of beautiful Camden Harbor. They tell us there is no other option!!

My family gifted the Montgomery Dam to the citizens of the town of Camden 30 years ago with the expectation that the town of Camden would maintain, preserve and respect this historic gem. Your town officials want to tear it down!

Your voice needs to be heard. Whether it’s a phone call to one of our select board members or a letter to the editor or attending a select board meeting or joining the “Save The Dam Falls” group. We are trying to get the word out to all Camden Voters to oppose the removal of Montgomery Dam.

The Montgomery Dam and Harbor Park are treasures and legacies that deserve to be preserved, NOT destroyed!
