“Arkansas Treasures” – an Emmy Award-winning Arkansas PBS original series showcasing the extraordinary and unexpected collectibles and antiques found throughout The Natural State – is returning for Season 2 with the first two episodes premiering Monday, Aug. 11, at 7 p.m. on the statewide network and at myarpbs.org/live!
For Season 2, Arkansas PBS welcomed 380 guests to our studios in Conway during a weekend taping event in April for an evaluation of their heirlooms, collectibles and garage sale finds, eager to learn more about them.
You’ll get to hear the stories of how they acquired those items and how much each item is potentially worth. We can’t give it all away, but get ready for items including a first-edition of “The Shining,” a 19th-century German Reich Revolver, a Southern folk-art painting by Theora Hamblett, a painting by D. Howard Hitchcock, jewelry, Japanese lanterns, a nail fetish by the Bakongo people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Africa, and more.
Amory LeCuyer, owner and lead appraiser for Hampton House Auctions in Yorktown, Virginia, serves as lead appraiser for the production, while Craig O’Neill, beloved Arkansas TV personality, serves as host of “Arkansas Treasures.”
See how these Arkansans acquired their treasures, find out the compelling stories behind them, and learn how much their items are valued in Season 2 of “Arkansas Treasures.”
