Waltons can refer to:
The Waltons is an American television series created by Earl Hamner, Jr., based on his book Spencer's Mountain, and a 1963 film of the same name. The show is centered on a family in a rural Virginia community during the Great Depression and World War II.
The series pilot aired as a television movie entitled The Homecoming: A Christmas Story and was broadcast on December 19, 1971. Beginning in September 1972, the series originally aired on CBS for a total of nine seasons. After the series was canceled by CBS in 1981, NBC aired three television movie sequels in 1982, with three more in the 1990s on CBS. The Waltons was produced by Lorimar Productions and distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution in syndication.
The main story takes place in Walton's Mountain, a fictional town at the foot of a mountain in fictitious Jefferson County, Virginia.
The actual place upon which the stories are based is in Nelson County, Virginia and is the community of Schuyler.
Schuyler (/ˈskaɪlər/ SKY-lur) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Nelson County, Virginia, United States, close to Scottsville. The population as of the 2010 Census was 298.
In 1882, the community—originally "Walker's Mill"—was named for Schuyler George Walker, local mill operator, and the area's first postmaster.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the town became a small industrial center with the establishment of a stone cutting plant for the area quarries of the Alberene Stone Company, which took the native and acid-resistant soap stone and milled the rock into flat table tops for labs and hospitals. The Great Depression essentially destroyed this industry and the area never fully recovered.
Schuyler was the birthplace and home of writer Earl Hamner, Jr. He is best known for the CBS television series The Waltons, which was based on his experiences of growing up the eldest child of a large rural family in depression era America. Earl and his mother and siblings attended Schuyler Baptist Church near their home-place. There are still a few of the members that knew them. The church still has services every Sunday and has made upgrades in its technology.

Cast of The Waltons say goodnight near the end of the series
This is the opening of the 1997 Waltons reunion movie "A Walton Easter". While nothing will beat Jerry Goldsmith's original version(s) of the theme, this is IMHO the best of numerous versions done since. The music on the film is credited to Patrick Williams, but I have no idea if he did this arrangement of the theme.

...I prepare my veins to bleed
Withering razors within my skin
Let scars to adorn me on
Liquid poison from my veins
Aspersed the ground
Demigod I've become
Let the spiritual fire burning bright as stars
Into the skies of all dominions
My redemption final sin
Let fuck off this world, die abandoned
Bleed for deliverance
The bevildering chaos in my eyes
Says no regrets
Let my wreath of sharpened horns
Bevailing me like christ in a babylon
Yawning abyss look into me
Let the spiritual fire burning bright as stars
Into the skies of all dominions
Let the guilded throne of distant realms i behold
Horned wreath-the crown of razors
Light is fading in me
Like a candle in the wind
The pain below I left delivered
Freedom said I...
Withering razors within my skin
Let scars to adorn me on
Liquid poison from my veins
Aspersed the ground
Demigod I've become
Let the spiritual fire burning bright as stars
Into the skies of all dominions
My redemption final sin
