Hello. I recently drive through Camden, NY (Oneida County, north of Oneida Lake) for the first time and didn't realize that there is such a charming village in the midst of otherwise relatively run down little hamlets in this area near Tug Hill. Camden has some beautiful Victorian homes and has the look of a place that once had quite a bit of wealth.

I tried a web search to find out what once went on there, and what goes on there now, and found little. So here's a question: what was the reason for the development of Camden, and do any primary economic activities still exist there?

Thank you.
