A tourist stop in LeClaire, IA





One of our favorite TV shows on the History Channel is “American Pickers”. These 2 guys Frank and Mike, who have been friends since the eighth grade travel the USA “picking junk, antiques and historical items” they refurbish and resell. Mike’s business, Antique Archeology is located in LeClaire, IA. Frank has his shop in Savannah, IL. In talking with the gals who run Mike’s shop we learned that Mike and Frank are on the road 3 weeks a month and home the 4th week. You’d be surprised at how small Mike’s shop is and he is in the process of building another garage-like shop on the property. The place was packed with tourists and that means about 2 dozen folks. Mike and his wife just had a daughter recently. Though we didn’t get to see Mike, Frank or Danielle, it was a fun stop.
