American Pickers to film in Osceola

Osceola will welcome Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz and Antique Archaeology to the area. The team will film episodes of their hit series “American Pickers” throughout Iowa. Filming will begin next month.

“American Pickers” is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique ‘picking’ on history. This hit show follows two of the most skilled pickers in the business, Wolfe and Fritz, as they embark on an epic road trip across the U.S. in search of America’s most valuable antiques from motorcycles, classic cars and bicycles to one-of-a-kind vintage memorabilia.

They are on a mission to recycle America, restore forgotten relics to their former glory and learn a thing or two about American history along the way.

Filming is scheduled to start next month. “American Pickers” is looking for leads and would love to explore what people may have. They are on the hunt for interesting characters with interesting and unique items.

Some of what they look for are vintage bicycles, toys, unusual radios, movie memorabilia, advertising, military items, folk art, vintage musical equipment, vintage automotive items, early firefighting equipment, vintage clothing and pre-50’s western gear.

“American Pickers” is produced by Cineflix Productions for History. New episodes air Wednesdays at 9 p.m. (ET) on History.
