Camden Famous turned one in May 2024
Meet the Founders:
April Shaw-Beaudoin & Buck Beaudoin

April is a fifth-generation Mainer, and Buck is a New England native who quickly fell in love with all Camden had to offer. After successfully running their marketing agency together for years, they decided to combine their love for branding with their love for their home — setting out to create the website and community they wish had existed years ago. A place to discover the best kept secrets that Camden has to offer, from food to events to news and everything in-between. Learn more about the faces who are making Camden Famous.
