Walking into John & Oliviaâs Bed & Breakfast is like walking, disorientingly, into a Depression-era home in rural Virginia â except it isnât.
Specifically crafted to resemble the home of the Waltons family from the television show, âThe Waltons,â the inn was built just last year to serve as a place for fans of the show to stay as they explore the community that served as inspiration for their beloved show.
âThe Waltonsâ was created by Earl Hamner Jr. and was loosely based on his childhood in the Schuyler community of Nelson County. The show aired from 1972 to 1981, but the storyline also included six made-for-television movies and the 1963 movie âSpencerâs Mountain.â
