Earl Hamner grew up during the Depression in Schuyler, just down the road from Scottsville. The vivid memories of that time appear over and over in his loosely autobiographical writings that formed the novel Spencer’s Mountain, which was the basis for television series The Waltons. Scottsville figures in many episodes, and members of the Hamner family still live in town.
For the 2017 Twilight Tours, Terri Long and the Gill Family tell what is was like when so many people had to leave their homes, places like Schuyler and Scottsville, to try and start new lives elsewhere.
