About the Historical Society

The purpose of the Gasconade County Historical Society is to bring together people interested in history, especially those people interested in the history of Gasconade County. We believe that understanding the history of our community is basic to our democratic way of life. It gives us a greater appreciation for our state of Missouri and our nation while promoting a better appreciation of our American heritage.

AMERICAN PICKERS to Film in Missouri

The American Pickers are excited to return to Missouri! They plan to film episodes of The History Channel hit television series throughout Missouri in June, 2024.

AMERICAN PICKERS is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique “picking” on The History Channel. The hit show follows skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques.

Along the way, they want to meet characters with amazing stories and fun items. They hope to give historically significant objects a new lease on life while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way.

The American Pickers TV Show is looking for leads and would love to explore your hidden treasure. If you or someone you know has a unique item, story to tell, and is ready to sell...we would love to hear from you! Please note, the Pickers DO NOT pick stores, flea markets, malls, auction businesses, museums, or anything open to the public.
