In April 2025, the Antiques Roadshow cast and crew set up shop at the Georgia State Railroad Museum in Savannah to film appraisals for three episodes of their 30th 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 at GPB in Atlanta for a premiere screening of our behind-the-scenes documentary highlighting the experience, and a sneak peek of the Antiques Roadshow episodes that were filmed at the Georgia State Railroad Museum. Special guests include senior producer for Antiques Roadshow, Sam Farrell and appraiser Amanda Everard. 

Before the screenings and discussion, a reception with special antiques from individuals who experienced Antiques Roadshow will be on display and refreshments will be served. 

Reserve your seat now with a suggested donation of $20.
