    • Trivia
      At 40:20, an advertisement is seen at the back of the makeshift classroom for Swanson's 3.2 Beer, a bygone brand of reduced-alcohol beer. During the Depression, 3.2 beer was a popular choice for "dry" counties that continued to ban full-strength alcohol after the repeal of Prohibition in December 1933.

      At 43:45, the sign outside Godsey's Mercantile for baled hay is misspelled as "bailed hay."
    • Quotes
      • [first lines]
      • Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] Most of us on Waltons Mountain prided ourselves on our friendly hospitality, our family's good name and our dignity as individuals. But in a remote hollow lived a man named Lutie Bascomb with his daughter, Lois May. If Lutie prided himself on anything, it was his cussedness.
