Coffeytown Christmas Described

This article appeared in the Lexington, VA The Weekender on Dec. 21, 1991, and was authored by Deborah Sensabaugh.

If you saw and remember The Homecoming: A Christmas Story, the 1971 pilot for The Waltons, you will be able to picture in your mind the Christmas scenery as well as the lifestyle described by the folks in this article.

Earl Hamner, Jr. creator of The Waltons, grew up in Schuyler, VA, just about 50 miles or so as "the crow flies" from Coffeytown.
