The conversation comes as the show prepares to visit Genesee Country Village & Museum in Mumford, where footage will be recorded for three episodes set to air in 2027. Executive producer Marsha Bemko, senior producer Sam Farrell, appraisers Leigh Keno and Arlie Sulka, and museum president Becky Wehle discussed everything from uncovering hidden treasures to the educational value of antiques, art, and collectibles that connect people to history.
