About the Event

Part adventure, part history lesson and part treasure hunt, PBS’s most-watched ongoing series ANTIQUES ROADSHOW heads out again in summer 2023 to search for America’s hidden treasures. The pop-culture phenomenon will film episodes for Season 28 with stops in five cities including a visit to Akron on Tuesday, June 6.

Catch up on recent ANTIQUES ROADSHOW episodes on-demand here.

One of five cities on the tour, Akron was selected for its cultural landscape and rich history of innovation, particularly in the automotive and tire industry. Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens has played a large part in that history. Built between 1912 and 1915, the estate includes gardens, a greenhouse, carriage house, and the main mansion, and is one of the largest houses in the United States. It is open to the public throughout the year and is a popular venue for special events.

“Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens is the exact right venue for the focus on adventure, history and treasure that is at the center of the show,” said Steve Millard, president and CEO, Greater Akron Chamber. “Stepping into Stan Hywet is an authentic visit to the early 1900’s that will provide an incredible backdrop and experience for fans of the show. We are excited to have the attention of the show and its fans on one of our most significant historic venues.”

“Stan Hywet appreciates the opportunity to host Antiques Roadshow at our historic estate. We’re proud and excited to introduce a nationwide audience to our 65-room Tudor revival Manor House built in 1915, as well as our magnificent gardens and grounds,” said Jennifer Highfield, president and executive director of Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens.

At each appraisal event, guests will receive free verbal evaluations of their antiques and collectibles by experts from the country’s leading auction houses and independent dealers. Each ticketed guest is invited to bring two items for appraisal.

From each of the 2023 events, three episodes of ROADSHOW per city will be created for inclusion in the 20-time Emmy® Award nominated production’s 28th broadcast season, to air on PBS in 2024.
