SCHUYLER, Va. (AP) - Fifteen former cast members of the hit TV show “The Waltons” are returning to Virginia for a reunion weekend.
The Nelson County Times reports (https://bit.ly/2nbxPlc ) the Waltons Mountain Museum in Schuyler will host the 45th anniversary reunion later this month. The events are also planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the death of the show’s creator, Earl Hamner Jr.
