Priceless Memories
ANTIQUES ROADSHOW comes to Vermont for the first time , bringing several thousand participants to the Shelburne Museum for an unforgettable event
On a hot summer day , Shelburne Museum was buzzing with excitement . The parking lot was packed with rows of cars that stretched as far as the eye could see , camera crews were pacing the grounds and setting up cutting-edge equipment , and hundreds of people were lined up in front of the gift shop entrance . After 26 seasons on-air , the enduring PBS television show , ANTIQUES ROADSHOW , had finally come to Vermont to film the first three episodes ever shot in the Green Mountain State . The landmark event served as the final stop on the celebrated show ’ s 27th season tour . It took place on July 12th , 2022 , and drew nearly three thousand people to Shelburne Museum . Participants brought their antique artifacts , jewelry , artworks , prints , memorabilia , and many other items . Their family heirlooms and prized antiques were appraised by ANTIQUES ROADSHOW ’ s team of knowledgeable appraisers , who provided them with fascinating and insightful information . The appraised value of the items may have vastly differed from person to person , but the memories that many of them took home from their experience at ANTIQUES ROADSHOW ’ s first visit to Vermont were truly priceless .
