Return to Peyton Place

Every couple or three months or so I wander down to Gilmanton for some work-related shenanigans. It's located in a weird place, just below the Belknap Mountains. But it has a rich legacy or two.

This is perhaps the nicest house in the "4 Corners" part of town, which is a Historical District on the National Register of Historic Places. I'd love to see a virtual tour of this sucker.

For you literary types, Gilmanton is (drum roll) "Peyton Place". Hence this post title.

Trivia....PP was not only a book, but ABC TV also had a long-running prime-time soap opera with it in the early 1960s. It's available on DVD.
