“Antiques Roadshow” rolls into Denver’s Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Farms this Monday, presenting a colorful array of finds against a scenic backdrop. From forgotten treasures tucked away in attics to family heirlooms with surprising histories, the show takes a look into the world of collectibles and the stories they tell.
This week’s episode features some particularly noteworthy items. A 1954 Marilyn Monroe military defense ID photo surfaces, giving us a glimpse of the icon in a rarely seen light. Also up for appraisal: a Panama hat circa 1970 and an Andy Warhol golden-shoe collage. Talk about spanning the decades! Each object presents its own unique puzzle for the appraisers to solve, connecting personal narratives with historical context.
As always, the joy of “Antiques Roadshow” lies not just in the potential monetary value of the items but in the stories they reveal. It’s a history lesson disguised as a treasure hunt, reminding us that even the most mundane objects can hold a piece of the past. And with the Denver Botanic Gardens as the backdrop, this episode offers a visual treat as well. Tune in to PBS on Monday, March 24th at 8:00 PM ET/PT for the first hour of appraisals from the Mile High City.
