    The Waltons was based on Hamners life as a kid. "Hamner Mountain" is in central Virgina near US 29 between Charlottesville and Culpepper. I went to college in the area and passed it many times. The TV show references both towns many times.

    There used to be museum for the show in some little town down that way. I don't remember the name of the town. I took my parents to a long time ago and it was a very enjoyable experience.
    Kentucky fan since 1971.

      Might have been Afton, VA - for some reason, that sticks in my mind. I went to college in Lynchburg and my dad lived in a little town called Washington VA. I have driven US 29 many times between the two - there are not many prettier drives in the world, especially as you get north of Madison VA
      They call me "Thread Killer"
