“American Pickers” television star Mike Wolfe, owner of Antique Archaeology in LeClaire and host of the History Channel television show, was in Winnebago County Thursday afternoon along with co-host Frank Fritz to make a deal with collector Denny Hill at his barn northwest of Lake Mills.
The crew also traveled to Thompson to see more of Hill’s collection and made a purchase in Lake Mills.
In between deals, Wolfe took time to meet with fans for photos as word that the crew was in town traveled quickly and a crowd gathered. Producers of the show said there will be footage from Hill’s farm on an episode of the show that is expected to air sometime in the late fall.
Hill said it was an honor to have the American Pickers show an interest in his collections.
