Description: Go to Schuyler, Virginia, to tour the actual place and meet the real people who inspired the beloved television series, The Waltons, which aired on CBS for nine seasons and earned 11 Emmy Awards. Writer Earl Hamner, the creator of The Waltons, reveals the touching and humorous stories about his real parents, and his seven brothers and sisters, whom the series was based on. Meet them and other members of Schuyler in The Walton Legacy, an award-winning documentary previously seen on public television. Plus hear what the set of The Waltons was like from cast members, including Michael Learned (“Olivia”), Jon Walmsley (“Jason”), Mary McDonough (“Erin”), Kami Cotler (“Elizabeth”) and more. And find out how the addition of a soapstone plant in a tiny hamlet in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia helped define a sense of harmony and community there. How did these small-town values broadcast via a television show set during the Depression transcend time and place to resonate with a Vietnam-era audience?
