Legacy List with Matt Paxton look at our homes and the hidden treasures, heirlooms and precious memories to be found within them. Matt brings with him a small, quick, diverse team to help families find the key valuables on the families’ legacy list. The specialists include Mike Kelleher, a walking encyclopedia of pop culture collectibles and antiques; Avi Hopkins, an expert in military and religious memorabilia; and Jaime Ebanks, who helps seniors downsize and curates collections of textiles and vintage clothing.
Legacy List with Matt Paxton touches on powerful topics including the importance of family, the need for diversity and the struggle between holding on to history and embracing the future.
The series captures the emotional trials and triumphs of families preparing to downsize their homes, as Matt Paxton and his team of historians, conservators and moving professionals help sort through a house full of memories.
As a first step, Matt asks families to create a list of missing but must-have items. The items on this legacy list may be lost in families’ attics, basements, closets and even under the floorboards. The items must be found, valued and saved before the movers empty the home and memories are lost forever. With every item found, Matt brings to life a family’s treasured past and delivers them to an uplifting future.
This season, Matt and the team visit with and help families in Leesburg and Richmond, VA; Washington, D.C.; Coventry, CT; Dorchester, MA; Morristown, NJ; East Hampton, NY; and right here in our region in Manheim.
