this is just the west entrance--that's the actual bridge in the distance!
Hebert's Candy Mansion in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts
If you've read Little Women, this is the home of Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March

No photos are allowed inside
Bronson Alcott and his fellow Transcendentalists met here,

The Waltons Mountain Museum, formerly the Schuyler, VA, elementary school
Here's part of the reproduction of the Walton kitchen...
...and here's a view of the other side of the room
The reproduction of John-boy's bedroom
This is the actual Zenith radio used on the television series
It plays old-time radio series all day
This is not the Baldwin sisters' "Recipe" machine;
it is an actual still captured by revenuers in the Virginia hills
"Miss Fanny? Can you ring John Walton for me? I'm here at Ike's store..."
Where the real "John-Boy" grew up--that's Earl Hamner's old home on the right.
