American Pickers, which has produced 375 episodes since 2010, has rolled through Ohio in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2024 to examine unique private collections.

If you’re a fan of the show, you know Wolfe and his crew don’t do go to stores, malls, flea markets, museums, auctions, businesses, or any place open to the public.

Wolfe, the show creator and owner of American Archaeology, has gone treasure hunting in old barns, sheds and warehouses looking for rare, historically significant or fun items.

“We’re looking for unique collections and the interesting people behind them,” says producer Meredith Ball. The goal is to find “unique, unusual, and one-of-a-kind items with incredible stories — collections that the Pickers have never seen before.”
