Behind the Scenes at Antiques Roadshow Iowa

We're celebrating Antiques Roadshow's visit to Iowa last summer!

In June 2024, the Antiques Roadshow cast and crew set up shop at Living History Farms in Urbandale to film appraisals for three episodes of their 29th season on PBS. After months of reviewing the footage, they have created three episodes from the thousands of appraisals that day and you're invited for a special preview party.

Join us on February 8 at 2 p.m. at Iowa PBS for a premiere screening of our behind-the-scenes documentary highlighting the experience, Behind the Scenes at Antiques Roadshow Iowa, and a sneak peek of the Antiques Roadshow episodes that were filmed at Living History Farms. Special guests include senior producer for Antiques Roadshow, Sam Farrell and appraisers Lark Mason Jr. and Lark Mason III. During the event, we'll also host a discussion with Iowans who had their items appraised and filmed last summer to learn about their experience. 

Following the screenings, a reception with special antiques, artifacts and items from Iowans will be on display and light refreshments will be served.
