The History Channel series ‘American Pickers’ has announced several filming locations for late 2026. Initially, producers sought leads for private collections in Illinois and Iowa for filming scheduled in September 2026.

Following this, the production expanded its search to Michigan and Indiana for October 2026. The crew continues to focus on locating unique, one-of-a-kind historical relics—such as vintage motorcycles, old cars, and rare toys—within private estates, barns, or garages rather than public venues like museums or flea markets.
