A Hocking Hill's Garden: Down Memory Lane with the ?Walton Family?

?

This is a non gardening posting which is going down memory lane for us here in the states.
The Movies and the show Walton's Mountain were written by a Schuyler, Virginia author Earl Hamner about his life and some of the locals near his boyhood home.

I loved the family oriented shows of the family throughout the years that the family and I watched and I wish there were more shows like them today for the families to watch.

The Original Walton?s House

A museum in the old school in Schuyler has been set up and holds the sets from the the show. It was so interesting to see the rooms of the house from the set as they brought up memories of the scenes from the show.

John Boys Bedroom

And the desk where we often saw him writing at on the shows many times.

Grandma and Grandpas room with the famous hat of his hanging on the door.

And of course those infamous Baldwin Sisters and who made the? ?Recipe?.

The still where the ?Recipe? was made.

Then there was the local Mercantile with Ike Godsey and his wife Cora Beth who was famous for eaves dropping and gossiping.

And the kitchen with its big table that held all of the family for meals.

And of course Olivia and John the parents who had to cope with all of the family members and the daily goings on.

And the living room we saw in the shows with the floral printed couch and chair. It even had the teddy bear that Elizabeth often was seen carrying.

And the scenes we saw with the family all setting around watching the radio in the evenings as they listened to the old broadcasts they so enjoyed.

This was a wonderful little side trip my daughter and I took while on vacation in Virginia in early summer.
It brought back a lot of great memories of us watching the Walton family by our family over the years.
Thanks for going down memory lane with me today.
Everyone have a wonderful weekend?.

Happy Gardening,
Lona
