Corrected entry: The little girl speaks with a Southern accent, but (assuming she's a native of Alexandria, Virginia) she would sound really strange; no one in Northern Virginia has a Southern accent. They also appear to live on a farm, but Alexandria is an urban area adjacent to downtown Washington D.C.

Correction: Many people who lived in Alexandria in the 1960s had southern accents. As the population grew and more people from the north, mid-west and west moved to the area, the accents weren't as pronounced or disappeared altogether. Also, there were still a few farms inside the Beltway and many farms outside the Beltway during this period. I was born in Alexandria, grew up less than a mile from T.C. Williams in the 1960's and 1970's and still have a southern accent - just not as strong as when I was younger.
