When moviemakers wanted to film "Peyton Place" in this small seaside town, the best-selling novel the movie was to be based on was so scandalous the local library didn't even keep it on its shelves.
The book had sparked outrage with its titillating look behind closed doors in a proper New England town. People read it in secret, and it was banned from many schools and homes.
To mark the anniversary, the Camden-Rockport-Lincolnville Chamber of Commerce is holding a 2-day celebration next Friday and Saturday with a parade, trolley tours, receptions, a panel discussion and, of course, a screening of the movie.
