Tune in Thursday, May 22 at 3 pm when PBS 45 & 49 air Hunting for Everyday History: The Ohio Bicentennial Roadshow. The program highlights the work of 20,000 Ohio 3rd-, 4th- and 5th-grade students participating in a unique multimedia program called Hunting for Everyday History.

Hunting for Everyday History takes history out of textbooks and puts it into the hands of students, where it becomes a living treasure. As part of the curriculum, students hunt for everyday artifacts as a means of developing a better understanding of the role their communities play in Ohio history. Based on the popular PBS program Antiques Roadshow, Hunting for Everyday History: The Ohio Bicentennial Roadshow selected students throughout Ohio to take their most intriguing finds to local public television stations, where they appear on camera to showcase and discuss their artifacts with historians and other experts.
