Antiques Roadshow will be filming an Appraisal Event on Saturday, June 4 at the Lane Events Center in Eugene, OR.  The Willamette Heritage Center at The Mill is one of three additional locations in and around the Willamette Valley that Antiques Roadshow has selected to film for a future episode.

 Host Mark L. Walberg and appraiser Jeffrey Schrader will be at WHC to film What Every Collector Should Know about WWI Uniforms.  They will discuss the history and current values of World War I uniforms.

 “We are thrilled that the WHC has the opportunity to host Antiques Roadshow here at our museum,” said Peter Booth, executive director of the Willamette Heritage Center.  “The Thomas Kay Woolen Mill was part of a key wartime industry since securing and maintaining the supply of woolen fabrics for the military was critical to the war efforts during both World Wars.  Given this, we feel it is wonderful that they have selected our location to explore the historic value of World War I uniforms.”

 The three Eugene ROADSHOW episodes recorded this June will air on OPB sometime between January and June, 2012 (Broadcast schedule TBA in September 2011).
