Dragonfly Inn was The Walton's house! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

OK just earlier tonight I was reading an article on another site about the 70s drama The Waltons (My family watched it every week when I was growing up) and one thing it mentioned is that the building/set that was the Walton's house was later renovated and used for The Dragonfly Inn on Gilmore Girls. I didn't know that at all before. So I'm probably one of the last people to know that but I'm OK with it. I just thought it was interesting because I enjoy both shows and was wondering if anybody else knew that bit of trivia.

I really didn't know that either til one day I was watching an episode of GG and I saw the front of the Dragonfly Inn. I told myself that looks awfully familiar so I asked my fellow GG friends on Facebook and told me that indeed it was the Walton House. I watched an episode of Supernatural and they went crushing through the same house. I was mortified!! I was yelling at the TV your going to crash through where Lorelai always stands!!
