I loved the Waltons, and still watch it every day...❤

[@ndAmendmentsupporter]

I’m just amazed that a show from the 70s is 100x more popular today tgan it was back during the shooting. I had a conversation with Eric Scott aka Ben, one night he told me same thing I had said, “A new generation of fans have made the cast of the Walton’s into American tv icons. The thought that 45yrs later we still talking about it is very amazing to me”- Eric Scott. I myself loved the show because it reminds me of growing up the exact same way in North Carolina. Very remote area of 80people in the town with one tiny store 1/2 block up dirt road from my grandmamas. The store was exactly like Godseys store in the show. Everything you need, plus pool table in back that we always played pool. Because my grandparents were so known to everyone an ran the town post office out of their front yard an back in the 1920s & 1930 ran the only store from their front room of house. Didn’t grow up as poor as Walton family on show. But still love the show an my all time favorite crush, Judy Norton aka Mary Ellen. I still watch the show all the time an bought every season an episode made. Thanks for the times an memories Eric, Kami, Mary, Judy, Jon, David Richard, michael & , RIP- Ralph, Ellen, Will, John Conley, Ronnie. Mary Jackson, Helen Cleeb, Merie Earle

Thursday evenings........ Thursday evenings........Thursday evenings...........The Waltons..........that day, and time frame was embedded in my soul , especially from the Baby boomer generation, as it was very special, seeing this family, as we all, as well as myself could escape our realities for the evening, and start our Fridays, & weekends sharing about the previous night's episode. A glimpse at a family who put God first. as well as their love for each other, and their fellow human beings.... Priceless

It really was a special time for families to come together! ❤️❤️

[@lisamelberger441]

The Waltons would never have a ouija board in their home, it should not be there, Olivia and grandma were very religious

[@HeritageWaysKatie]

Lisa Melberger it is a prop in the replica home as a reference to the show where the kids brought a board into the home. Do you recall that episode?😉

[@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669]

True.It belongs in the museum. Not their home.

[@dazzyh12]

They did have an episode where they consulted the ouiji board. Olivia had a fit so they went to the barn.

[@willielarimer7170]

@@HeritageWaysKatie the episode was called, Ghost story, the Waltons were taking care of a friends son named Luke. He was to be sent to his dad on the train but the spirit of his mom stopped him from leaving, the next day the Waltons found out the train crashed, so the spirit saved him

[@lorainefleeman6011]

But would the real Hamner family have an issue with it?

[@latishiashort6311]

Would be so cool if they made the Baldwins house

[@paintingsbyjimhall]

I viewed your episode where you mentioned that Heritage Way may be coming to an end soon. I was starting to enjoy your comments, especially when you and Mr. Patient would share some Scripture. I don't understand why the producers or editors seem to think your content is not "children friendly." It certainly involves the family.

[@HeritageWaysKatie]

Thank you for being here and appreciating our content. I’ve had some friends to reach out and help me understand this better. I’ll have to go in and make several changes on LOTS of the videos as far as titles and Settings but it looks like I might not have to shut down the whole channel which is a blessing. I appreciate that you enjoy the scriptures that we are starting to add to the ends of most everyone of our videos. Take care, ♥️katie and family

[@grammyspieface1]

I wonder if anyone that loved the show , ever built their own house like the Waltons house

[@frannyleyden7988]

Was always my favorite house!!

[@docadams7099]

The Walton house exterior at Warner Bros. was also featured on "The Andy Griffith Show" (the last season) and throughout "Mayberry RFD", as the home of Sam and Mike Jones. It also can be seen on "The Gilmore Girls" as the Dragonfly Inn.

[@HeritageWaysKatie]

I thought so. I never could figure out what was on the back side of the house next to the grandparents room. But I think that I drew in a master bedroom there and an entrance, connected to the kitchen behind it that also contained an area for the clithes washer and dryer, etc. I still have those 30ish year old plans in my files.

I just don't think it should be in the house replace it with the Bible were they did believe & go to church,plus Mary Ellen had to learn so many verses.

[@lisamcandrews8594]

I grew up with the Waltons. I love the Waltons. I’ve tried to get my grandchildren involved with the Waltons and when I found out the B&B was opening up I want to take them down there. My grandmother was African-American and she left Virginia in the 1920s and came up to Massachusetts. She emphasized that we should stay out of Virginia and how dangerous it was. But when I watch the Waltons I didn’t feel that way. Three months ago I called the Bed and breakfast I talk to the owner. I explained my concerns because my grandchildren are African-American. The owner of the B&B told me it would be better if I did not come because it would cause problems. I knew what that meant. I offered to rent the whole house so there will be any problems and she said no. She said as being there would be a problem. They charge $200 a room and I was going to rent the whole house and she said no. Obviously the woman was racist and it saddens me. But it’s going to be her loss because she is behind the times if she doesn’t except a biracial grandmother and African-American grandchildren obviously she won’t except gay people and trans people or anybody else who isn’t like her

[@HeritageWaysKatie]

oh my, this is so very sad to hear. I am not sure that the owner is the one who answers the phone or manages the house. We haven't been over there in a year but, the last time we were there, the owner, Carole, had a manager and Carole only lived part time in Virginia. Either way, I absolutely hate to hear this experience of yours. I am sorry that it happened. You are welcome here at Heritage Ways. ❤️ Katie

[@SummerRain368]

Hi Lisa. Also living in the Northeast, I can’t believe there is still so much racism in Va., maybe it was only a racist worker that answered the phone? I would hope not the owner. I remember a couple African-American families on “The Walton’s” and how beloved they were by the Walton family, so they’re definitely not living by example. I just wanted to respond your comment shocked me so much. Blessings to you and yours.
