St. Louis—April 20, 2026— Nine PBS will celebrate the broadcast premiere of three new episodes of Antiques Roadshow with a special event at Grant’s Farm on April 26, highlighting both the beloved PBS series and St. Louis’s rich history.
St. Louis episodes of Antiques Roadshow’s 30th season will air on Nine PBS on April 27, May 4, and May 11 at 8 pm. Antiques Roadshow is streaming on ninepbs.org, the PBS app, and on YouTube at @RoadshowPBS.
PBS’s most‑watched ongoing series continues to captivate audiences with the possibility that anyone might own something extraordinary. Through expert appraisals and personal stories, Antiques Roadshow reveals family legacies, surprising historical ties, and unexpected cultural treasures.
In St. Louis, treasures include a playful piece of Hollywood history. A guest brought in a $10 estate-sale-purchased backgammon set, ca. 1970, associated with comedy legend Lucille Ball. Another quirky item is John F. Kennedy’s 1959 boxer shorts with a signed photo.
“Antiques Roadshow returning to St. Louis—the third visit in the show’s 30‑season history—highlights the extraordinary stories and deep sense of history found in our community,” says Amy Shaw, president and CEO of Nine PBS. “Filmed at Grant’s Farm, we’re thrilled that the country will see St. Louis and Grant’s Farm as a magical place that we all can be proud of.”
“We were honored to host the team from Antiques Roadshow at Grant’s Farm and to be a part of this iconic PBS series,” says Steve Byrd, general manager of Grant’s Farm. “We’re excited for viewers all over the United States to get to see our historic farm and showcase St. Louis on a national stage.”
The 23-time Emmy® Award-nominated Antiques Roadshow is produced by GBH in Boston for PBS and is seen by around 5.5 million viewers each week.

About Grant’s Farm
Grant’s Farm is a historic landmark in St. Louis with storied American roots. Originally home to decorated Civil War General and future American President, Ulysses S. Grant, the property would become home to the log cabin he built here in 1855. In 1903, the Busch family, founders of Anheuser-Busch, purchased the property, transforming it into a unique blend of wildlife preserve and family estate. Grant’s Farm was opened to the public in 1954 and has become a beloved family-friendly destination, known for its animals, history, and connection to two iconic American families.
