Take a trip on an October day in 2017 as Mrs. Katie and her JonBoy head toward Schuyler, Virginia, to meet Richard Thomas at Walton's Mountain Museum on the occasion of the museum's 25th anniversary. Schuyler is the home and location of the real-life John Boy, EARL HAMNER, JR., and childhood family. If you are a fan of THE WALTONS, this trip is a must-do.
Tour the home, purchase souvenirs, and tour the Museum which houses many items that are original to the show, original to the family or actors, and/or items from the area and its people.

We are a family who just loves The Waltons TV show as much as you do. We even call one of our sons, "JonBoy". In fact, this video is about the time that our son met Richard Thomas, "John Boy Walton." You might come visit "Waltons Mountain" with us in these other videos, as well. kzfaq.info/sun/PLWtTIIsjgPo0Dv1Vmm2UgCb_Om6J3osP8 Thanks for visiting. We are glad you are here. ❤katie

Wouldn’t you know that my mother met Richard Thomas in the elevator of a department store? Mom said he was a doll and couldn’t have been nicer. Needless to say that was the last shopping trip I missed! 😂

I live in Virginia. In the southern part near Lake Gaston & Buggs Island Lake. About 6 or 7 years ago I was coming home from Charlottesville when I took a wrong turn and soon realized I was lost. When I saw State Rt6 I knew it would take me to State Rt15 and from there I could get home. Anyway quite by accident I drove through Schuyler, VA not knowing at the time that it was Earl Hamner's home town. Imagine my surprise when I passed a sign that pointed the way to Walton's Mountain. Unfortunately it was late and I didn't have time to stop. But I still hope to visit one day. My wife and I thoroughly enjoy watching The Walton's reruns.

Used to see him shopping in the neighborhood store in Hollywood in '94. He was as relevant in the early 70's as John Denver,Karen Carpenter, and all the other pop culture references of the day.Waltons was The best family value show then.So Great (had a big crush on Elizabeth) Richard made that show till 76. Wish I said hello when I saw him.

We are in the Nashville area. Once, late at night around 11pm, I saw Wynona Judd at the grocery store wearing a thick fur coat and sunglasses. I think she misunderstood incognito.

Back when tv was still good compared to the junk they have on now...they taught values even with controversy, there were still morals and a lesson to be learned. I believe our country might be a lot different today if parents taught respect and morals today, as they used to .... I was a kid in the 60s and it was taught at home in school and even by my grandparents. ... had I talk to my parents the way some of these kids do today..oh my ..my bottom would be soar for sure. Instead plop them down in front of a video game and then wonder why they are the way they are.

That is very interesting! Sometime in the 70s, I think around 78 (?) my parents took us kids to that area. That is before it was a tourist place and when Mrs. Hamner still lived there but we didn't know which house, etc. I recall going to a post office (Rockfish??) and my mama asking the postmaster about the Hamners. In walked a lady and the postmaster said, "There is the kids' teacher now." Wonder if she was your great aunt?? 😃

She was one of their teachers, Earl Hamner's included. My aunt is actually in a number of the school house photos that are in the museum. A number of the old timers have mentioned that she was their teacher. I pass through every couple of years and occasionally stop at my grandfather's childhood house (which has passed out of our family's hands) where we still have a family cemetery and perpetual permission to visit it. The house is down along the Rockfish River. As kids we used to hunt all along there with my dad and grandfather since my Aunt Dorothy still owned the place and half the neighbors were related in some way to us. My aunt passed about 20 years ago in Charlottesville.

I was always a fan of the Waltons. Some, maybe many, don't even realize why that show did so well. It was because the cast became a family. Other than being given scripts to follow, much of what they did was truly from themselves. Another thing some people may not know is that Ellen Corby's return to the show after her stroke was at her request. I will say that it was real smart of the studio to do it. Michael Learned was talking about this in one of her interviews. It must have been amazing for all those kids to grow up on the show with so many beautiful people around them. Those of you who saw the first and second episodes of the 7th season of the show, I think was in places very real and raw as these were the real feelings of the cast. Some people may also not know that Will Geer was an activist and was together with people like Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger. He did much in the 50's and 60's for causes like the farm workers, and more.

Interesting. My mother's parents grew up in Bedford just down the road. Two of three farms are still there in pieces. The other a subdivision. Before she died, she wanted me to help her go back and visit the area. Funny, we with the daughter of the owner of one of the farms, with history going back to the civil war, who turns out to be a real life relative. The old white house is still there next to Smith Mountain Lake where my great great grandfather owned many acres. They lived through the civil war. It wasn't until recently that I came to realize that the Walton's were based upon the same area of Va and only a few miles away. Our family is also connected to the family with Booker T Washington. Another place to go visit.

What a nice little video to stumble upon. I’ve never been to this place, but I was a childhood friend of David Harper (Jim Bob Walton) in our hometown of Abilene, Texas. His parents and my father went to high school together and remained friends for many years. David often came “home” to Abilene to visit when he was on haitus from filming, and I went out to California one summer to visit them. I got to spend time on the set and got to hang out with and get autographs from all of the Waltons cast - except Richard Thomas, who refused to meet visitors or give autographs at the time. This was in the early-mid ‘70s, and he has talked about being somewhat “arrogant” back then, which was my experience of him. But everyone grows and changes over time, and it was very nice to see him being so gracious toward his fans in your video. It really warmed my heart. I hope to visit Earl Hamner’s hometown one of these days. One of the episodes I saw being filmed was the one in which the preacher (John Ritter) got married. I adored John Ritter - I was just a kid at the time, and John was just a big kid himself. He introduced me to Paul McCartney’s music (after the Beatles), and I’m still a big fan. Those are special memories. 😊

kellydiver Hello fellow Waltons fan and thank you so much for watching our video. It was fun to take our son, Jonboy to meet Richard Thomas “John boy”. How exciting to hear you reminisce about growing up in Abilene as a childhood friend of David Harper‘s. That must’ve been exciting to know a movie star.😃. I’m also fascinated because our family just returned a month ago from a 10 week stay in Texas. We were finishing up an 18 month stent of traveling around the nation to find ways to serve and encourage folks and meet our social media friends. We actually stayed in Abilene for a week. 💙We truly enjoyed the people of Texas. That’s a very special state and it pulled at our heartstrings to have to leave. I would love to set your mind at ease that Richard Thomas was indeed the complete gentleman and so very gracious with his time and his words. Like you said, people change and I’m so glad that it appears he did. His wife was equally as friendly and kind. This is one of our earlier videos and I was a bit shy about making this particular one. I hope that you will enjoy the others we have about the Waltons, including meeting some of the other cast members. Sadly, we didn’t get to meet David Harper. I was told by the owner of the Hamner home that he can be a little shy. You could probably speak to that better than others can. Again, thank you so much for sharing with me and reminiscing. I truly enjoyed Reading this comment.♥️katie

Heritage Ways It’s a small world! Glad you enjoyed my home state. Yes, David is shy - he never enjoyed being a celebrity. Even when he was a kid, he would grow his hair long when he was on hiatus in hopes that people wouldn’t recognize him. He had a couple of early encounters with fans that frightened him, and he is also shy by nature - but very sweet and kind. I will subscribe to your channel and look at your other videos. All of the Waltons cast members were (and are) truly wonderful people, and their fondness for each other shines through in the show. Take care.
