About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Camden National Bank and said to himself, ‘I wonder if they accept checks from the future?’ The driver wrote out an ancient-looking check, dated twenty years in the future. The teller looked puzzled but smiled and casually deposited it into their register. Later that day, a neighbor asked the teller, 'Did you see that strange guy who tried to cash a check from the future?' To which she replied, 'Oh yeah, he got his money.' And everyone in town laughed, realizing that sometimes the past just catches up with us.

2. At dawn, when most banks were still locking their doors, an old man walked into Camden National Bank with a basket full of bread. He approached the teller and asked if he could deposit some fresh croissants. The teller smiled and said, 'We don’t accept baked goods as deposits, sir.' The old man nodded understandingly and replied, 'No worries, I’ll just take them home for breakfast!' And so, every morning after that, the same elderly gentleman would arrive with his basket, only now everyone knew he was simply a regular who loved croissants.

3. At lunchtime, a regular noticed something peculiar coming from inside Camden National Bank's basement. A soft humming sound echoed through the hallway, like someone was playing a distant piano tune. Curious, he peered down and saw an old man in a suit, sitting cross-legged on the floor, gently tapping his fingers against an invisible keyboard. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic delivery driver practicing for his audition as a bank robber—complete with dramatic background music.

4. One day, after closing hours, a security guard heard strange noises coming from the bank’s vault. Peering through the window, he saw a small dog diligently digging into the ground near the entrance. Curious, the guard approached quietly and watched as the little doggy emerged with a tiny envelope in its mouth. Turned out it was just a delivery driver's forgotten package. The dog got a treat, the guard got a laugh, and Camden National Bank remained secure—thanks to canine intuition.
