Anyone remember when the history channel used to actually have history programs, besides ones dealing with the WWII era? I guess history is something that the average american doesn't care about these days.
Amen. I didn't have cable or satellite from 2005 to 2009. Wow, was I disappointed when I saw what carp they have on there now. Discovery Channel is a pos now, too.
Getting back to Pickers, I wonder what they will find, b/c all of the antique dealers told me, back in 1998-2000, that they were shipping their best stuff to VA and out to AZ and CA because there was no local market for anything good. lol But there is no doubt that Huntington, WV and Ashland, KY were grand towns in their heyday. I used to drive around an look at all of the architecture. That quality and "class" will never be affordable again.
It looks like the American Pickers episode featuring Huntington will air this Monday, Dec. 12 at 9:00. Per the Herald Dispatch, the owners of Heritage farm had an old Dairy Barn that they were looking to clear out and so they contacted the show and they chose to come out and take a look. I can't wait to see this episode!
HUNTINGTON — The recent visit by television's "American Pickers" has generated a national wave of interest in Mike and Henriella Perry's Heritage Farm Museum and Village, Mike Perry said this week.
Speaking Feb. 24 as part of the Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce "Coffee and Conversation" series, Perry said the Heritage Farm's website recorded 220,000 unique hits during December's "American Pickers" episode that featured a 20-minute visit to the museum by TV hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz.
"That compares to the 3,000 hits we ordinarily get in a day," Perry said. And the farm's website traffic has spiked again each time the History Channel has offered a rerun of the episode, he said.
