‘Antiques Roadshow’ Coming To Middletown This Summer

MIDDLETOWN, CT — Middletown’s historic Wadsworth Mansion will be one of the select locations to be featured on the upcoming season of PBS’s long-running “Antiques Roadshow.”

“Antiques Roadshow” will visit five locations this year, beginning with Wadsworth Mansion on Aug. 10, to film invited guests and their treasured items for the popular show’s 26th season, which will air on PBS in 2022.

The season will be filmed in an “all-new way” due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a post on the PBS website.

“With a focus on health and safety, all production for ANTIQUES ROADSHOW’s 26th season will be on closed sets, accessible only to ROADSHOW production teams and the invited guests,” the post reads. “No other appraisals will take place and no other individuals may access the filming locations during ROADSHOWs visit.”

“Entries that wow our producers will be chosen for filming. After June 7 ANTIQUES ROADSHOW producers will select up to 130 entries to be filmed at each location. Producers will notify selected submissions approximately four weeks before the date of the Production to which the entry was made.”

The deadline for entries is 11:59 p.m. on June 7.

To submit an entry online, you will need:

• a short description of your item and how you came to own it
• any known story and/or background info about your item
• two or three digital photos of your item to upload
