Schuyler’s forests bloom in the springtime; the rural roadways make for a gorgeous spring drive. If you’re traveling through Schuyler or want to plan a full day, start with The Walton’s Mountain Museum. The museum itself is in Hamner’s boyhood school. Displays include replicas of “The Walton’s” sets, hundreds of memorabilia items, and photographs. Grab a souvenir or five at Ike’s Market & Deli, which serves as the museum’s gift shop. Next, check out Walton Hamner House, located across from the museum. Join the guided tour inside John-Boy Walton’s childhood home. The house has been listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register since 2004. 

Many visitors to Nelson decide to visit one of the county’s nearby wineries. Delfosse Vineyards and Winery offers blends and creative wines, all on the picturesque property. If you’re lucky, you’ll arrive on one of Delfosse’s “Crepe Days.” Guests can delight at a selection of homemade savory or sweet crepes paired with Delfosse wine! Another Nelson winery, Brent Manor Vineyards, produces both New- and Old-World Portuguese wines. Travel a little further up the road to Lovingston for delicious, inventive entrees at the Lovingston Cafe or Vito's. If you’d like to wrap up your Walton’s springtime tour, you may want to stay the night at the new five-bedroom, five-bathroom John & Olivia’s Bed & Breakfast, which boasts a genuine 1931 Model A Ford Coupe in working condition.
