“We stopped here on night one of a weekend getaway after passing through Lynchburg – where there were no chain hotels available because of a baseball tournament. This place was EXCEPTIONAL!! We checked in after midnight, but the registration clerk was still happy to help us. The room was spotless. The bathroom was super clean. The price was considerably less than we would have paid elsewhere. The bed was very comfortable. Everything about our stay was wonderful. We will definitely stay here again!

Discover Walton’s Mountain Museum In Schuyler Va

2018-05-22 13:10:51

It has been almost 40 years since “The Waltons” final episode ran on CBS. Despite this, the fame of television’s, depression-era Virginia family lives on at the Walton’s Mountain Museum in Schuyler, VA. If you’re a fan of the award-winning television program, you owe it to yourself to visit!

These days, the name “Walton” is more often associated with an American multinational retail chain than it is a popular television show. For those of us who grew up in the 70’s, however, the name “Walton” still brings up memories of John-Boy, Mary Ellen, Grandpa, Ike Godsey, and the rest.

“The Waltons” aired for nine seasons, between 1972 and 1981, on CBS. The series was based upon the book “Spencer’s Mountain” by Earl Hamner Jr., who also narrated each show. While the television series took place on a fictional “Walton’s Mountain,” in Virginia, and the book on “Spencer’s Mountain” in Wyoming, both are actually based on Hamner’s hometown of Schuyler, VA. Consequently, it should come as no surprise that the Walton’s Mountain Museum is located right here in Schuyler, VA. In fact, the museum is housed in Earl Hamner, Jr.’s old high school!

Visiting the Walton’s Mountain Museum is a special experience that blends both history and nostalgia with just a touch of Hollywood.

The museum gift shop is housed in a replica of Godsey’s General Mercantile and contains a number fun and fascinating exhibits. You’ll expect Ike and Cora Beth to appear at any moment.
